Design and Trajectory Planning of Bipedal Walking Robot with Minimum Sufficient Actuation System

چکیده
This paper presents a new type of mechanism and trajectory planning strategy for bipedal walking robot. The newly designed mechanism is able to improve the performance of bipedal walking robot in terms of energy efficiency and weight reduction by utilizing minimum number of actuators. The usage of parallelogram mechanism eliminates the needs of having an extra actuator at the knee joint. This mechanism works together with the joint space trajectory planning in order to realize straight legged walking which cannot be achieved by conventional inverse kinematics trajectory planning due to the singularity. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is confirmed by computer simulation results. Keywords—Bipedal robot, Energy efficiency, Straight legged walking, Trajectory planning.

This paper presents a falling‐based optimal foot trajectory planning method (FOFTP) for the effective walking of bipedal robots in three‐dimensional space. Our primary concern is to determine the optimal footstep location for the more balanced walking of bipedal robots based on a measure of falling. A proper strategy for the intermediate trajectory of the swing foot is als...

To overcome the obstructions imposed by high-dimensional bipedal models, we embed a stable walking motion in an attractive low-dimensional surface of the system’s state space. The process begins with trajectory optimization to design an open-loop periodic walking motion of the high-dimensional model and then adding to this solution, a carefully selected set of additional open-loop trajectories ...
