چکیده

This article describes a method for designing humanoid robots and generating their dynamic gaits. Firstly, the global design process which defines structures able to carry out dynamic locomotion tasks is explained. Secondly, a set of leg and foot mechanisms are described to perform these tasks. A method of producing intrinsic smooth motions for fast walking gaits of bipedal robots with different leg mechanisms or flexible feet is then explained. Finally, some simulation results are given, showing a wide variety of possibilities for dynamic gait generation. The contribution of flexibilities in the feet of a bipedal robot during a dynamic walk can be observed. The two major effects are a diminution of the intensity of normal force when the heel touches the ground and increased length of the double support phase, allowing better stability of the system. Another notable effect is the analogy between the passive flexion amplitude of the toe tips and the measured results of human subjects.

Energy Dissipation Rate Control Via a Semi-Analytical Pattern Generation Approach for Planar Three-Legged Galloping Robot based on the Property of Passive Dynamic Walking

In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...

A Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres

This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...
