Simple Quadruped Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this project, I aim to design and experiment with a controller for quadruped walking gait in a physics based simulation. A simplified and articulated dog model was designed with realistic dimensions. The controller is based on a finite state machine, where each state represents a target pose in the gait cycle. A simple balancing strategy was implemented.

Biomimetic Locomotion Control of a Quadruped Walking Robot
In this paper, a new biomimetic control method for a quadruped walking robot is proposed. The method is derived by the observation of the gravity load receptor and stimulusreaction mechanism of quadrupeds’ locomotion, and the study of the stances on walking and energy efficiency. Though the controller is simple, it provides a useful framework for controlling a quadruped walking robot. In partic...
متن کاملRush: a simple and autonomous quadruped running robot
In this paper, the system design and analysis of a quadruped robot, Rush, are presented. The quadruped robot was fabricated to study autonomous and efficient running on flat and rough terrain. It is a compact, kneed, four-legged machine with only one actuator per compliant leg. A novel control strategy for the quadruped robot has been proposed in consideration of several engineering limitations...
متن کاملEffects of Initial Stance of Quadruped Trotting on Walking Stability
It is very important for quadruped walking machine to keep its stability in high speed walking. It has been indicated that moment around the supporting diagonal line of quadruped in trotting gait largely influences walking stability. In this paper, moment around the supporting diagonal line of quadruped in trotting gait is modeled and its effects on body attitude are analyzed. The degree of inf...
متن کاملHysteresis in the gait transition of a quadruped investigated using simple body mechanical and oscillator network models.
We investigated the dynamics of quadrupedal locomotion by constructing a simple quadruped model that consists of a body mechanical model and an oscillator network model. The quadruped model has front and rear bodies connected by a waist joint with a torsional spring and damper system and four limbs controlled by command signals from the oscillator network model. The simulation results reveal th...
متن کاملBio-inspired design of electrically-driven bounding quadrupeds via parametric analysis
This paper attempts to set the basis for a systematic approach in designing quadruped robots employing a dynamically stable quadruped running in the sagittal plane with a bounding gait, which is a simple model commonly used to analyze the basic qualitative properties of quadruped gaits that use the legs in pair. The outcome of the proposed methodology is the optimal shape of the bounding quadru...
