Simulated 3D Biped Walking with an Evolution-Strategy Tuned Spiking Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of experiments in applying a spiking neural network to control the locomotion of a simulated biped robot. The neural model used in simulations was developed to allow for an analytic solution to a neuron’s fire time, while maintaining a non-instant post-synaptic potential rise time. The synaptic weights and delays were tuned using an evolution-strategy. Simulation experiments demonstrate that within about seven thousand generations the biped is able to acquire a dynamic walk which allows it to walk upright for several metres.

Evolution of central pattern generators for bipedal walking in a real-time physics environment
We describe an evolutionary approach to the control problem of bipedal walking. Using a full rigid-body simulation of a biped, it was possible to evolve recurrent neural networks that controlled stable straight-line walking on a planar surface. No proprioceptive information was necessary to achieve this task. Furthermore, simple sensory input to locate a sound source was integrated to achieve d...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...

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 کاملRobust Low Torque Biped Walking Using Differential Dynamic Programming With a Minimax Criterion
We developed a control policy design method for robust low torque biped walking by using differential dynamic programming with a minimax criterion. As an example, we applied our method to a simulated five link biped robot. The results show lower joint torques from the optimal control policy compared to a hand-tuned PD servo controller. Results also show that the simulated biped robot can succes...
متن کاملAnalysis of 3D Passive Walking Including Turning Motions for the Finite-width Rimless Wheel
The focus of studies in the field of passive walking has often been on straight walking, while less attention has been paid to the field of turning motions. In this paper, the passive motions of a finite width rimless wheel as the simplest 3D model of passive biped walkers was investigated with a focus on turning motions. For this purpose, the hybrid model of the system consisting of continuous...
