Ballistic Control for Biped Walking with Pneumatic Actuators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Walking is a complex behavior that emerges from interaction between the agent body and the terrain. To realize adaptive dynamic walking by an artificial agent, therefore, not only its body and control dynamics but also the dynamics of the terrain should be taken into account. This paper describes a biped walker with pneumatic actuators and a ballistic controller that only applies driving force in a limited period of time to utilize the dynamic property of the robot body. Feedback is designed based on the ballistic control, which is derived by estimation by experimental trials.

Compliant Actuation for Biologically Inspired Bipedal Walking Robots
This thesis deals with compliant actuators and their use in energy efficient walking bipeds. Two types of actuators with adaptable compliance are discussed: PPAM (Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles) and MACCEPA (Mechanically Adjustable Compliance and Controllable Equilibrium Position Actuator). The PPAM is a design made to overcome shortcomings associated with the existing types of pneumatic ...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of MIKE; a 2D autonomous biped based on passive dynamic walking
For research into bipedal walking machines, autonomous operation is an important issue. The key engineering problem is to keep the weight of the actuation system small enough. For our 2D prototype MIKE, we solve this problem by applying pneumatic McKibben actuators on a passive dynamic biped design. In this paper we present the design and construction of MIKE and elaborate on the most crucial s...
متن کاملDynamic Stabilisation of the Biped Lucy Powered by Actuators with Controllable Stiffness
This dissertation reports on the developments of the bipedal walking robot Lucy. Special about it is that the biped is not actuated with the classical electrical drives but with pleated pneumatic artificial muscles. In an antagonistic setup of such muscles both the torque and the compliance are controllable. From human walking there is evidence that compliance plays an important role in energy ...
متن کامل3D Quasi-passive Walking of Biped Robot with Flat Feet - Gait Comparison between Passive Walking and Quasi-passive Walking -
Currently, many bipedal robots have been proposed to realize the high energy efficiency walking. The control input isn’t required for the passive dynamic walking. Generally, a foot of passive dynamic walking robot is an arc foot. In this paper, it is intended to establish a control method and control mechanism to achieve the energy efficient and the stable gait. Therefore, we developed 3D quasi...
متن کاملControlling the Walking Period of a Pneumatic Muscle Walker
In this paper, we investigate the limit cycle of a biped walker driven by pairs of pneumatic artificial muscles. We show, experimentally, that the period of the limit cycle changes when different control parameters are applied and estimate the relationship between the period and the parameters through trials. A step-by-step feedback controller is proposed to stabilize walking based on the estim...
