چکیده
This paper proposes the locomotion control system for a biped locomotion robot. The proposed control system is composed of motion generator system and motion control system. Motion generator system is composed of nonlinear oscillators which generate the commanded trajectories of the joints as functions of phases of oscillators. Motion control system is composed of motors with controllers installed at joints which control motions of joints. The oscillators tune the phases through the mutual interactions and the feedback signals from the touch sensors at the tips of the legs. As a result, the robot with the controller walks stably by changing its period of locomotion in a changing environment. The performance of the proposed control system is verified by numerical simulations and experiments.

This paper proposes a central pattern generators based control architecture using a frequency adaptive oscillator for learning to locomotion of humanoid robot. Central pattern generators are biological neural networks that can produce coordinated multidimensional rhythmic signals, under the control of simple input signals. They are found both in vertebrate and invertebrate animals for the contr...
متن کاملLearning from demonstration and adaptation of biped locomotion
In this paper, we introduce a framework for learning biped locomotion using dynamical movement primitives based on non-linear oscillators. Our ultimate goal is to establish a design principle of a controller in order to achieve natural human-like locomotion. We suggest dynamical movement primitives as a central pattern generator (CPG) of a biped robot, an approach we have previously proposed fo...
متن کاملReflex Control of Biped Robot Locomotion on A Slippery Surface
Biped robots are expected to walk on many di erent and previous unknown terrains, and thus they may walk on a slippery surface with low friction with no information on the surface a priori. Any fall-down due to unexpected slipping could costly damage the robot and thus should be avoided. This paper proposes a re ex control method for biped robots to quickly recover their posture from a slip soo...
