Adaptive visual servoing for legged robots-vision-cued swaying of legged robots in unknown environments

چکیده
This paper describes a method to achieve a visioncued swaying task in unknown environments utilizing adaptive visual servoing. The proposed method has a hybrid structure consisting of a controller to keep the distances between feet constant (a stance servoing controller), and an adaptive visual servoing controller. Making use of the method, the motion of each joint need not be pre-programmed, but is generated by the method according to the motion of visual cues. An experimental result demonstrates how the proposed method realizes a vision-cued swaying behavior of the legged robot.

Vision-based servoing control for legged robots
This paper describes a vision-based servoing control scheme for legged robots to achieve a vision-guided swaying task utilizing a visual servoing technique. According to the controller, motions of the legs are not pre-programmed by analyzing the kinematics/dynamics of the system, but are generated by the servoing scheme reactively. The vision-based servoing scheme is a hybrid one consisting of ...
متن کاملHybrid structure of reflective gait control and visual servoing for walking
This paper presents a hybrid structure of reflective gait control and adaptive visual servoing [3] by which a vision guided legged robot realizes a reflective walk. The reflective gait consists of three steps: 1) select a leg to be lifted so as to increase the body stability, 2) move one of other legs to enable the selected leg lifted, and 3) move the selected leg. During these steps, adaptive ...

متن کاملTerrain Classification Using Weakly-Structured Vehicle/Terrain Interaction
We present a new terrain classification technique both for effective, autonomous locomotion over rough, unknown terrains and for the qualitative analysis of terrains for exploration and mapping. Our approach requires a single camera with little processing of visual information. Specifically, we derived a gait bounce measure from visual servoing errors that results from vehicle-terrain interacti...
متن کاملStiffness control of a legged robot equipped with a serial manipulator in stance phase
The ability to perform different tasks by a serial manipulator mounted on legged robots, increases the capabilities of the robot. The position/force control problem of such a robot in the stance phase with point contacts on the ground is investigated here. A target plane with known stiffness is specified in the workspace. Active joints of the legs and serial manipulator are used to exert the de...
