Reconstructing human push recovery reactions using a three dimensional under-actuated bipedal robot
This paper presents the ability of hybrid zero dynamics (HZD) feedback control method to reproduce human like movements for walking push recovery of an under-actuated 3D biped model. The balance recovery controller is implemented on a three-dimensional under-actuated bipedal model subjected to a push disturbance. The biped robot model is considered as a hybrid system with eight degrees of freed...
متن کاملPlanar Bipedal Walking with Anthropomorphic Foot Action
This paper investigates the key problem of walking with both fully actuated and underactuated phases. The studied robot is planar, bipedal, and fully actuated in the sense that it has feet with revolute, actuated ankles. The desired walking motion is assumed to consist of three successive phases: a fullyactuated phase where the stance foot is flat on the ground, an underactuated phase where the...
متن کاملOn the Desing and Test of a Prototype of Biped Actuated by Shape Memory Alloys
In this paper the design of a biped robot actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs with minimum degrees of freedom is presented. SMA springs are a class of smart materials that are known for their high power to mass and volume ratios. It was shown that utilizing spring type of SMAs have many advantages as large deformation, smooth motion, silent and clean movement compared to ordinary typ...
متن کامل‘BALANCING AND SEQUENCING’ VERSUS ‘ONLY BALANCING’ IN MIXED MODEL U-LINE ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...
متن کاملBiped Without Feet in Single Support: Stabilization of the Vertical Posture with Internal Torques
We consider a two-link biped, a three-link biped, and a five-link planar biped without feet (with “point feet”). Their ankles are not actuated. The control torques are applied to the bipeds in the inter-link joints only. Then this family of bipeds is under actuated when only one leg tip touches the ground. It is difficult to control the walking of this kind of bipeds because they are statically...
