Omnidirectional Walking Using ZMP and Preview Control for the NAO Humanoid Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast-paced dynamic environments like robot soccer require highly responsive and dynamic locomotion. We present an implementation of an omnidirectional ZMP-based walk engine for the Nao robot. Using a simple inverted pendulum model, a preview controller generates dynamically balanced center of mass trajectories. To enable path planning, we introduce a system of global and egocentric coordinate frames to define step placement. These coordinate frames allow translation of the CoM trajectory, given by the preview controller, into leg actions. Walk direction can be changed quickly to suit a dynamic environment by adjusting the future step pattern.

Omnidirectional Walking and Active Balance for Soccer Humanoid Robot
Soccer Humanoid robots must be able to fulfill their tasks in a highly dynamic soccer field, which requires highly responsive and dynamic locomotion. It is very difficult to keep humanoids balance during walking. The position of the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) is widely used for dynamic stability measurement in biped locomotion. In this paper, we present an omnidirectional walk engine, which mainly...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملControl con rechazo activo de perturbaciones para el equilibrio de robots humanoides
This paper presents a control strategy for the balance of humanoid robots while they are standing without walking, using the active disturbance rejection control approach. Such control technique regulates the position of the ZMP of the humanoid in order to keep it within the support polygon by means of a discrete-time linear quadratic regulator enhanced with on-line disturbance detection and co...
متن کاملPredictably un-predictable — on the implementation of a Walking Pattern Generator for the full-sized humanoid robot HUBO2 using Model Predictive Control
There is a large body of research related to WPG (Walking Pattern Generators) for humanoid robots. Typically WPG are evaluated based on how well the robot’s actual ZMP (Zero Moment Point) tracks the desired ZMP trajectory, using a simulation of a rigid-body robot walking on a solid floor. However little has been written about how various approaches scale-up to a full-sized humanoid robot, which...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Omnidirectional Walking Engine for Full-sized Lightweight Humanoid Robots
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate an omnidirectional walking engine that achieves stable walking using feedback from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The 3D linear inverted pendulum model (3D-LIPM) is used as a simplified model of the robot, the zero moment point (ZMP) criterion is used as the stability criterion, and only the feedback from the IMU is utilized for stabilization. The ...
