  • This is a preliminary study is to make the robot walk more stably by observing the ZMP (Zero Moment Point) of the robot when the robot stands on one leg(single support) and then on two legs(double support) and so on. The robot consists of nine DOF (Degree of freedom) with lower part of the body. It is equipped with motor drivers and force sensors inside the robot. The motors are controlled by the external PC (Intel pentium 4). By the experimental results, it is found that the robot is unstable in the instant of changing from single support to double support or from double support to single support. We use the trajectory compensation of the angle and the length of both legs to realize more stable walking.

  • The evolution of bipedal robots was the foundation stone for development of Humanoid robots. The highly complex and non-linear dynamic of human walking made it very difficult for researchers to simulate the gait patterns under different conditions. Simple controllers were developed initially using basic mechanics like Linear Inverted Pendulum (LIP) model and later on advanced into complex control systems with dynamic stability with the help of high accuracy feedback systems and efficient real-time optimization algorithms. This paper illustrates a number of significant mathematical models and controllers developed so far in the field of bipeds and humanoids. The key facts and ideas are extracted and categorized in order to describe it in a comprehensible structure.

  • In this paper, we propose stable walking algorithm using ZMP for the biped robot in the slope-way. At first, we define discrete state variables that classified stable area and unstable area by center of mass from ZMP during slope-way walking. For the stable walking gait, the discrete state controller for determining the high-level and low-level decision making are designed. The high-level decision making is composed of the discrete state variables; left foot support phase, right foot support phase, flat-way, and slope-way. Then the continuous state controller is implemented for the low-level decision making using ZMP.

  • This paper is concerned with computer simulations of a biped robot walking in dynamic gaits. To this end, a three-dimensional robot is considered possessing a torso and two identical legs of a kinematically ingenious design. Specific walking patterns are off-line generated meeting stability based on the ZMP condition. Subsequently, to verify whether the robot can walk as planned, a multi-body dynamics CAE code has been applied to the corresponding joint motions determined by inverse kinematics. In this manner, complex mass effects could be accurately evaluated for the robot model. As a result, key parameters to successful gaits are identified including inherent characteristics as well. Also, joint actuator capacities are found required to carry out those gaits.

  • Contents 1We developed a new type of lower part of the human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch Joints and one roll joint. In all, a 8 degree-of-freedom robot was developed. A new type of actuator for the robot is proposed, which is composed of four bar link mechanism driven by the ball screw. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously by adapting small DC motors for the robot actuators and has an embeded controller system including host computer, batteries and motor drivers. In the performance test, we had basic stable walking data so far, but we f...

  • This study treats the method for kinematic modeling of the biped walking robot, for synthesizing various gait trajectories, and for calculating adequate values of the joint torque inside the stable region. To synthesize various and anthropomorphic walking easily, the gait trajectory is specified by a set of ten walking prameters, and the trunk motion equation is derived by the zero moment point and the gait trajectory. By distributing ground reaction force and moment reduced at the zero moment point to the both feet, the joint torque equation can be derived readily, and according to this equation, the joint torque to stable walking can be computed.

  • This paper is concerned with walking trajectory generation by applying the genetic algorithm. The walking trajectory is generated though three via-points and genetic algorithm is employed to find velocity and acceleration at each via-point. Also genetic algorithm is applied for balancing joint trajectory. Fitness function is used for minimizing the trajectory. As a result, new algorithm generated the smooth trajectory. The proposed algorithm is verified by the experiment of biped walking robot developed in our Control laboratory, and we compared the result with the previous walking algorithm. It showed that the new proposed algorithm generated the better walking trajectory.

  • This paper presents the design of a passive biped walking robot based on limit cycle analysis. By using numerical analysis and experiment, we identify better design criterion for biped walking robot. In designing robot parameters we apply global search method to find limit cycles for given robot parameters and ground angle. Internal parameter variation changes limit cycle behavior, total energy, strides, etc and the characteristics of walking is analyzed by simulation and experiments.

  • We present the synergy effect of humanoid robot walking down on a slope and support vector machines in this paper. The biped robot architecture is highly suitable for the working in the human environment due to its advantages in obstacle avoidance and ability to be employed as human substitutes. But the complex dynamics in the robot and ground makes robot control difficult. The trajectory of the zero moment point (ZMP) in a biped walking robot is an important criterion used for the balance of the walking robots. The ZMP trajectory as dynamic stability of motion will be handled by support vector machines (SVM). Three kinds of kernels are also employed, and each result from these kernels is compared to one another.
