Robust Bipedal Walking: The Clyon Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bipedal robot walking presents challenges in design, control, balance and practicality. No one element can exclusively define a robust walking platform. With a combination of elements, a robust walking platform may be defined. In this paper, we present the development of a bipedal robot whose easily modifiable gait allows us to study gait performance and bipedal robot balance issues. Robot design, hardware requirements, computer interface and software development phases are also addressed. Overall, the Clyon robot presented in this work is aimed at discovering gaits with minimal hardware requirements to accomplish useful tasks.

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 کاملIn-House Built Bipedal Walking Robot
In this project, an in-house built bipedal walking Robot uses two direct current gear motors to power its legs. Each leg could bend at the knee to assist the walking routines. In order to improve the walking step, a stabilization system is designed through a mechanical and field programmable gate array controller to improve the walking condition. In addition, the robot is able to prevent hittin...
متن کاملFrom Formal Methods to Algorithmic Implementation of Human Inspired Control on Bipedal Robots
This paper presents the process of translating formal theory and methods to efficient algorithms in the context of human-inspired control of bipedal robots, with the end result being experimentally realized robust and efficient robotic walking with AMBER. We begin by considering human walking data and find outputs (or virtual constraints) that, when calculated from the human data, are described...
متن کاملBipedal locomotion using variable stiffness actuation
Robust and energy-efficient bipedal locomotion in robotics is still a challenging topic. In order to address issues in this field, we can take inspiration from nature, by studying human locomotion. The Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model has shown to be a good model for this purpose. However, the human musculoskeletal system enables us to actively modulate leg stiffness, for example wh...
