Controlling Dynamic Motions of Biped Robots with Reflexes and Motor Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite many efforts in the development and control of two-legged robots, nature’s solution of biped walking is still unequaled. Both the mechanical side and neural control surpass what robotics research has come up with. While the properties of the biological locomotion apparatus are fairly well understood, still there seems no technical solution for an equivalent actuation system. Unfortunately the knowledge on nature’s neural control concepts is far from complete.

Controlling Human-like Locomotion of a Biped by a Biologically Motivated Approach
Controlling biped robots in a human-like way is still in the air in robotics. Due to the existing of shortcomings of technical control methods, researchers began to try to find help from biomechanics, neuroscience, human movement analysis and other biological fields. This paper presents a biologically inspired method of controlling the locomotion of biped robots based on the neurological and bi...
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...
متن کاملInitiating Normal Walking of a Dynamic Biped with a Biologically Motivated Control
Two-legged locomotion is a much reseached topic in the robotics community since many decades. Nevertheless human walking and running is still unequaled. This paper introduces a biologically motivated approach of controlling bipeds that is based on recent results from neurological research on human walking. It features a hierarchical network of skills, motor patterns and reflexes that works loca...
متن کاملSimplified Walking: A New Way to Generate Flexible Biped Patterns
In this paper, we present a new way to generate biped patterns online. Linear Inverted Pendulum and Zero Moment Point are employed as the dynamic basics. The simplified walking concept is introduced to describe the complete biped motions with the unit of a walking step, instead of a time step of the robot’s working time in usual methods. With this concept, the complex flexible motion planning c...
متن کاملRobust Trajectory Free Model Predictive Control of Biped Robots with Adaptive Gait Length
This paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robust trajectory-free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) of biped robots. The NDO is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. In contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...
