Modifiable Walking Pattern Generator on Unknown Uneven Terrain
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for humanoid robots to walk on unknown uneven terrain by using the Modifiable Walking Pattern Generator (MWPG). The proposed algorithm runs with a finite state machine including ascending and descending states. If the landing time of a swinging leg on unknown uneven terrain is shorter than the assigned single support time, the state is switched to the ascen...
متن کاملHumanoids can take Advantage of Crab-Walking Gaits
Recent advances in control of humanoid robots have resulted in bipedal gaits that are dynamically stable on moderately rough terrain but are still limited to a small range of slopes. Humanoid robots, like humans, can take advantage of quadruped gaits to greatly extend this range. Cleverly designed gaits can provide robustness to rough terrain without requiring extensive feedback. In this paper,...
متن کاملStereo-vision-based navigation of a six-legged walking robot in unknown rough terrain
This paper presents a visual navigation algorithm for the six-legged walking robot DLR Crawler in rough terrain. The algorithm is based on stereo images from which depth images are computed using the SemiGlobal Matching (SGM) method. Further, a visual odometry is calculated along with an error measure. Pose estimates are obtained by fusing inertial data with relative leg odometry and visual odo...
متن کاملEnchanced Torque Controlled Balancing through Multimodal Sensor Fusion based on an Extended Kalman Filter
Towards achieving dynamic humanoid robots that can function effectively in our unstructured environments, incorporation of some form of mechanical compliance and whole-body torque control present a very promising approach. However, one of the primary limitations affecting this approach is that of accurate, and effective state information, in particular, that of estimation of external forces tha...
متن کاملWalking Rover Trafficability - Presenting a Comprehensive Analysis and Prediction Tool
Although walking rovers perform well in rocky terrain, their performance over sands and other deformable materials has not been well studied. A better understanding of walking rover terramechanics will be essential if they are to be actually deployed on a space mission. This paper presents a comprehensive walking rover terramechanics model incorporating slip and sinkage dependencies. In additio...
