BIPedal walking: from gait design to experimental analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an experimental approach to the problem of designing and executing walking gaits on a dedicated 2-legged machine. We have oriented all our approach towards the experimental analysis of large pattern of walking gaits. This work has lead to the first experimental results obtained on the Bip anthropomorphic robot. The desired movements are designed off line using a model of the robot and tracked on the real system by means of a simple control law. The success of our approach is due both to an efficient mechatronic architecture and to the way it is used to achieve the goal of experimenting walking. The paper presents the system architecture, from mechanical to software issues and also describes the approach developed for designing and executing locomotion. Several results validate the accuracy of our modelling and exhibit the robustness and the efficiency of our controller architecture. We also present and evaluate one of the gaits realized with Bip, using both robotic and biomechanical criteria.

Robust Bipedal Walking: The Clyon Project
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 desi...

The aim of this thesis project is to develop a walking pattern to control and walk in a stable manner. Exploit methods for developing a na...
متن کاملHuman Based Cost from Persistent Homology for Bipedal Walking
While the focus of robotic bipedal walking to date has been the development of anthropomorphic gait, the community has been unable to agree on a model for such gait. In this paper, we propose a universal ordering of events for bipedal walking based on motion capture data collected from a walking experiment. We process the motion capture data using persistent homology to automatically determine ...
متن کاملTwo walking gaits for a planar bipedal robot equipped with a four-bar mechanism for the knee joint
The design of a knee joint is a key issue in robotics and biomechanics to improve the compatibility between prosthesis and human movements, and to improve the bipedal robot performances. We propose a novel design for the knee joint of a planar bipedal robot, based on a four-bar linkage. The dynamic model of the planar bipedal robot is calculated. Two kinds of cyclic walking gaits are considered...
متن کاملDesign and Gait Synthesis for a 3D Lower Body Humanoid
Bipedal locomotion is a challenging control engineering problem due to the non-linear dynamics and postural instability of the bipedal form. In addition to these challenges, some dynamical e↵ects such as the ground reaction force are di cult to model accurately in simulation. To this end, it is essential to develop physical hardware to validate walking control strategies and gait generation met...
متن کاملA functional electrical stimulation system for human walking inspired by reflexive control principles
This study presents an innovative multichannel functional electrical stimulation gait-assist system which employs a well-established purely reflexive control algorithm, previously tested in a series of bipedal walking robots. In these robots, ground contact information was used to activate motors in the legs, generating a gait cycle similar to that of humans. Rather than developing a sophistica...
