چکیده

We present a class of gait generation and control algorithms based on the Switching MaxPlus modeling framework that allow for the synchronization of multiple legs of walking robots. Transitions between stance and swing phases of each leg are modeled as discrete events in a system described by max-plus-linear state equations. Different gaits can be systematically generated and interleaved during motion by switching between different system matrices. We show that such gait switching can be done in an optimal way, minimizing the tip leg velocity variation for all legs simultaneously touching the ground.

Synchronization of a class of cyclic discrete-event systems describing legged locomotion

It has been shown that max-plus linear systems are well suited for applications in synchronization and scheduling, such as the generation of train timetables, manufacturing, or traffic. In this paper we show that the same is true for multi-legged locomotion. In this framework, the max-plus eigenvalue of the system matrix represents the total cycle time, whereas the max-plus eigenvector dictates...

Scaling, Modeling and Traffic Control of a Real Railway Network using Max-plus Algebra and Model Predictive Control

Delay time recovery can increase the efficiency of the railway network and increase the attractiveness of railway transport against other transportation systems. This article presents a new dynamical model of railway system. The proposed model is a discrete event systems that is defined based on the deviation of travel time and deviation of stop time of trains. Due to the existence of multiple ...

Using the Adaptive Frequency Nonlinear Oscillator for Earning an Energy Efficient Motion Pattern in a Leg- Like Stretchable Pendulum by Exploiting the Resonant Mode

In this paper we investigate a biological framework to generate and adapt a motion pattern so that can be energy efficient. In fact, the motion pattern in legged animals and human emerges among interaction between a central pattern generator neural network called CPG and the musculoskeletal system. Here, we model this neuro - musculoskeletal system by means of a leg - like mechanical system cal...

Modeling and control of switching max-plus-linear systems with random and deterministic switching

Switching max-plus-linear (SMPL) systems are discrete-event systems that can switch between different modes of operation. In each mode the system is described by a max-plus-linear state equation and a max-plus-linear output equation, with different system matrices for each mode. The switching may depend on the inputs and the states, or it may be a stochastic process. In this paper two equivalen...
