A method for rough terrain locomotion based on Divergent Component of Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
For humanoid robots to be used in real world scenarios, there is a need of robust and simple walking controllers. Limitation to flat terrain is a drawback of many walking controllers. We overcome this limitation by extending the concept of Divergent Component of Motion (DCM, also called ‘Capture Point’) to 3D. Therefor, we introduce the “Enhanced Centroidal Moment Pivot point” (eCMP) and the “Virtual Repellent Point” (VRP), which allow for a very intuitive understanding of the robot’s CoM dynamics. Based on eCMP, VRP and DCM, we present a method for real-time planning and control of DCM trajectories in 3D.

On-Board Perception and Motion Planning for Legged Locomotion over Rough Terrain
This paper addresses the issues of perception and motion planning in a legged robot walking over a rough terrain. The solution takes limited perceptual capabilities of the robot into account. A passive stereo camera and a 2D laser scanner are considered for sensing the terrain, with environment representations matching the uncertainty characteristics of these sensors. The motion planner adheres...

The intention of this paper is twofold. It first describes the robotic platform AloF and its control software framework which was designed for autonomous locomotion in rough terrain. The robot has a very large range of leg motion to actively explore its surroundings through haptic interaction and to increase its locomotion capabilities. The platform is robust enough to carry adequate sensors to...

متن کاملRobust Phase-Space Planning for Agile Legged Locomotion over Various Terrain Topologies
In this study, we present a framework for phasespace planning and control of agile bipedal locomotion while robustly tracking a set of non-periodic keyframes. By using a reduced-order model, we formulate a hybrid planning framework where the center-of-mass motion is constrained to a general surface manifold. This framework also proposes phase-space bundles to characterize robustness and a robus...
متن کاملMobility of Legged Robot Locomotion with Elastically-suspended Loads over Rough Terrain
Elastically-suspended loads can reduce the energetic cost of legged robot locomotion over flat ground. In this paper, we studied the effect of elastically-suspended loads on the mobility of legged robot locomotion over rough terrain. The power input and speed of a simple hexapod robot running over rough terrain with an elastically-suspended load and a rigidly-attached load was compared. On aver...
