We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. The BWR was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR peformed nice motions of sitting-up and sitting-down. Through the test, we could find capability of high performance in biped-walking.

In this paper it is purpose that reduces joint torques and their rate of change through optimizing trajectory planning of biped walking machine. The motion of biped walking machine is divided into leg motion for walking and body motion for keeping balance. The leg motion is planned by three phases, that are deploy, swing, and place phases, in terms of the state of foot against floor. The distribution of time assigned to each phase is optimized and that causes leg joint torques and their rate of change to minimize. The body notion is produced by using optimal control theory which minimizes body joint torques and satisfies Z.M.P. constraints defined as region of each phase.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) named KUBIRI driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. KUBIRI was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. To utilize informations on the human walking motion and to analyze the walking mode of robot, a motion capture system was developed. The system is composed of the mechanical and electronic devices to obtain the joint angle data. By using the obtained data, a 3-D graphic interfacer was developed based on the open inventor tool. Through the graphic interfacer, the control input of KUBIRI is performed.

A research on a simulator for a side walking path of a 16 degree-of-freedom (d.o.f) biped walking robot(BWR) which is composed of 4 d.o.f upper-part body and 12 d.o.f lower-part of the body is presented. For generation of stable side walking motion, the kinematics, dynamics and the zero moment of point(ZMP) of the BWR were analyzed analytically and included in the simulator. To operate the motion simulator for stable side walking of the BWR, a graphic user interface program was developed which needs inputs for the side distance between legs, base joint angle, walking type, and walking velocity. The simulator was developed to generate joint angle data of legs for side walking, and the data are transmitted to the BWR for stable side walking. In the simulator, a new path function for smooth walking motion was proposed and applied to the simulator and actual motion of a BWR. Also for actual side walking, an algorithm for estimating backlashes of the actuating joint motors was proposed and included in the simulator. To validate the performance of the proposed motion simulator, the simulator was operated and its side walking data of the simulator were generated for a period of side walking.

This paper presents reference ZMP trajectory generation and implementation for a biped robot via linear inverted dumbbell model (LIDM), which can consider the effect of external momentum on the center of mass (COM) of robot. Based on a reference ZMP trajectory derived by using LIDM, a base trajectory is proposed not only to make the locomotion of robot similar to that of human but also to facilitate its implementation and tuning. In order to realize a dynamic walking using the proposed trajectory, compliance, impedance and ZMP tracking controllers are adopted together. Extensive experiments show that the proposed locomotion of a biped robot is stable and also, similar to that of human. Further researches on balance recovery of a biped robot will be carried out to guarantee its robust locomotion in combination with the proposed trajectory.

본 논문에서는 지능재어기법을 이용하여 이족로봇 제어기를 설계한다. 이족로봇 제어기는 복잡성을 해결하기 위해 4개 소 그룹으로 모듈화 하고, 이 모듈들은 신경망을 이용한 계층적 모듈라 신경망 (Hierarchical Mixture of Experts; HME) 기법을 도입한다. 그리고 신경망은 직접제어기법으로 이족로봇의 역 동력학을 학습한다. HME는 나무구조의 네트워크로 입출력 집합을 학습하여 출력공간에 대한 입력공간을 재분할하는 능력을 가지고 있다. EM 알고리즘을 이용한 HME는 반복적 학습을 통하여 이족로봇의 동력학을 모델링하며 HME 의 가상오차를 생성하여 이족로봇보행시 안전한 보행을 수행할 수 있는 이족로봇의 제어기를 설계한다.

Human-like biped robot is a representative multi-links manipulator and undoubted redundancy system. However many researchers separate biped robot into each limb and analyze the members individually for the convenience analysis. This approach is not desirable for natural trajectory generation and energy optimization. This paper proposes the analysis method considering both legs together and the weighted pseudoinverse optimizing energy consumption.

This paper presents a learning controller for repetitive gate control of biped robot. The learning control scheme consists of a feedforward learning rule and linear feedback control input for stabilization of learning system. The feasibility of teaming control to biped robotic motion is shown via dynamic simulation with 12 dof biped robot.

사람이 받은 가장 큰 축복은 이족(二足)보행이다. 걷기는 건강 이전에 삶과 떼려야 뗄 수 없다. 일반적으로 현대인의 하루 걷는 양은 많아도 5,000보이고 활동량이 적은 경우에는 1,000보도 채 되지 않는다. 하루에 6,000보 정도만 걸어도 건강을 지킬 수 있다. 그렇다면 걷기는 어디에서 어떻게 하는 것이 좋으며 걸어야 하는 것일까.
