Learning to Step: Models of Foot Placement for Biped Locomotion
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose different models for estimating foot placement in biped locomotion. We use either learning approach or optimization approach to obtain such models. We evaluate these models in terms of robustness and complexity. Our results show that these models are more flexible than Inverted Pendulum Model and they provide more agility for biped locomotion under different walking speed.

A Simple Reinforcement Learning Algorithm For Biped Locomotion
We propose a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm for biped walking in which the robot learns to appropriately place the swing leg. This decision is based on a learned model of the Poincare map of the periodic walking pattern. The model maps from a state at the middle of a step and foot placement to a state at next middle of a step. We also modify the desired walking cycle frequency bas...
متن کاملGait control by foot placement for humanoid robots
Humanoid robots are used as a research tool to understand bipedal locomotion. When pushed, a humanoid robot must be able to avoid falling and return to a balanced configuration. This is called push recovery and can be achieved using proper foot placement. Depending on the freedom of movement, one or multiple steps are taken to accomplish this goal. It is expected that foot placement can also be...
متن کاملDOCTORAL THESIS PROPOSAL Biped Locomotion: Augmenting an Intuitive Control Algorithm with Learning
Foot placement is a key determinant for the stabilization of walking speed and lateral motion of a biped. However, there is no closed form expression for the foot placement parameters in term of the walking speed or other gait parameters. A simple and intuitive control algorithm (called “Turkey Walking”) based on Virtual Model Control (VMC) was successfully applied to planar bipedal walking. Ho...
متن کاملGlobal Step Planning of Dynamic Biped Locomotion Considering Obstacles
This paper concerns on footstep planning of a biped robot in an environment having some obstacles. Biped robot has an advantage to work in human surroundings: This is accomplished by its capability to walk over the obstacles. Though its foot placement should be discussed to step over obstacles, it is difficult because dynamic biped locomotion is a complex interaction system between CoG trajecto...
متن کاملSimulation of an autonomous biped walking robot including environmental force interaction
| This autonomous biped walking control system is based on the reactive force interaction at the foothold. The precise 3D (three dimensional) dynamic simulation presented includes: 1) a posture controller which accommodate the physical constraints of the reactive force/torque on the foot by quadratic programming. 2) a real-time COM (center of mass) tracking controller for foot placement, with a...
