The Basic Study of the Intelligent Gait Control for Quadrupedal Walking Vehicle

چکیده
It is generally recognized that the walking machine will make superior off road vehicle to conventional wheeled or tracked vehicles. The high mobility of walking vehicle come from its intelligent functions to select gait adaptive to the terrain. If the legged vehicle is without the intelligence and the legs are driven in fixed sequence, it can not even maintain stable motion in rough terrain. Thus the intelligent gait control problem is said tc be crucial in the developement of legged vehicle. But only a few studies have been performed on the intelligence of hexapod walking and not a single study have been implemented on quadruped walking. The difficulties to construct the hardware of walking vehicle itself might have been the greatest obstacles for it. The authors have already constructed a quadruped walking vehicle (Perambulating Vehicle Mark II, abbreviated as PV II) and successfully demonstrated its fundamental mobilities. To set the PV II as a object model this paper makes the first attempt to analyse the intelligent gait control problem. The paper includes a complete problem formalization, clarification and analysis of the gait control algorithm, and the evaluation of the proposed algorithm in terms of a computer simulation study.

متن کاملSpatio-temporal gait characteristics of the hind-limb cycles during voluntary bipedal and quadrupedal walking in bonobos (Pan paniscus).
Spatio-temporal gait characteristics (step and stride length, stride frequency, duty factor) were determined for the hind-limb cycles of nine bonobos (Pan paniscus) walking quadrupedally and bipedally at a range of speeds. The data were recalculated to dimensionless quantities according to the principle of dynamic similarity. Lower leg length was used as the reference length. Interindividual va...
متن کاملStabilization and Walking Control for a Simple Passive Walker Using Computed Torque Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
Abstract The simple passive dynamic walker can walk down a shallow downhill slope with no external control or energy input. Nevertheless, the period-one gait stability is only possible over a very narrow range of slopes. Since the passive gaits are extremely sensitive to slope angles, it is important to use a control strategy in order to achieve a wide range of stable walking. The computed to...
متن کاملVertical Ground Reaction Force Gait Patterns During Walking in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
The characteristics of vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) gait patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify VGRF gait features that discriminate between children with ASD and the peer control group. The VGRF data were obtained from 30 children with ASD and 30 normal healthy children aged 4 to 12 years. A three-dime...
