Ga-based Gait Generation of Sony Quadruped Robots

چکیده
This paper presents a GA (Genetic Algorithm) approach to the development of locomotion gait for Sony quadruped robots. The selection of GA parameters such as the population size and recombination methods is made to be flexible and strive towards optimal performance autonomously. An interactive software environment with an overhead CCD camera is used to evaluate the performance of the generated gaits. The experimental results are given to show that the stable and fast gaits have been achieved. Keyword: Evolutionary Programming, Quadruped Robots, Genetic Algorithms, Gait Generation

متن کاملGA-based Automatic Acquisition of Fuzzy Rules for Controlling Quadruped Walking Robots
This paper presents a method that can acquire fuzzy rules for Sony legged robot behaviours automatically. We use fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) to design robot behaviours. The antecedents of the FLCs are pre-design, while their consequences are left for automatic acquisition. Once the consequences are optimally chosen, the robot behaviours are well designed. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are employe...
متن کاملDynamics modeling and stable gait planning of a quadruped robot in walking over uneven terrains
Quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. This article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. First, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-DOF quadruped robot. Thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
متن کاملParameter Optimisation of an Evolutionary Algorithm for On-line Gait Generation of Quadruped Robots
This paper presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) for developing locomotion gaits of Sony legged robots. An online training algorithm is used for generating gaits for quadruped walking robots based on a hybrid approach that changes the probability of genetic operators in respect to the performance of the operator's offspring. The probability of applying an operator changes in proportion ...
