Extended Virtual Passive Dynamic Walking and Virtual Passivity-mimicking Control Laws

چکیده
In our previous works, we have proposed “virtual passive dynamic walking” utilizing modified gravity condition with virtual gravity field. The virtual passive walking motion critically depends on the physical parameters and the steady walking pattern is not easily obtained without suitable physical parameters. Based on the observation, in this paper we propose more generalized method of virtual passive walk and a virtual passivity mimicking control law. By the effect of the control laws, we can generate the steady walking pattern even if the physical parameters were not suitable. We call the walking pattern generated by the control methods as “extended virtual passive dynamic walking”. The validity of the proposed method is examined by numerical simulations and tested by a prototype experimental machine.

Passivity-Based Stability Analysis and Robust Practical Stabilization of Nonlinear Affine Systems with Non-vanishing Perturbations
This paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. The given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. Moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...
متن کاملA passive bilateral control scheme for a teleoperator with time-varying communication delay
In this paper, a passive bilateral control scheme is proposed for a teleoperator with time-varying communication delay. Recently proposed two-port time-domain passivity approach (TDPA), which composed of Passivity Observer (PO) and Passivity Controller (PC), is extended. A set of sufficient conditions is derived, which satisfies the passivity of the two-port delayed network system, by separatin...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملReal Walking through Virtual Environments by Redirection Techniques
We present redirection techniques that support exploration of large-scale virtual environments (VEs) by means of real walking. We quantify to what degree users can unknowingly be redirected in order to guide them through VEs in which virtual paths differ from the physical paths. We further introduce the concept of dynamic passive haptics by which any number of virtual objects can be mapped to r...
متن کاملBio-inspired controllers for dynamic walking: CPG enhanced with minimal feedback
Many of today’s successful biped robots are controlled based on the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) method, which generates robust locomotion for flat-footed bipeds on a controlled environment. These controllers usually generate slow gaits with a low energy efficiency which do not look natural or human-like. In contrast, Passive Dynamic Walkers [2], [5] are fast, efficient and resemble human walking. M...
