본 논문에서는 이족 보행 로봇을 위한 무릎 및 힙 관절의 일 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 컴플라이언스 특성의 발을 갖는 이족 로봇 다리 메커니즘을 대상으로 전형적인 보행 패턴을 고려한다. 또한 딱딱한 지면과 접촉하는 로봇 발 공간으로부터 다리 관절 공간으로 전파되는 토오크 특성을 확인하고, 보행에 따라 관절 공간에 누적되는 일 특성을 제시한다. 결과적으로, 이러한 분석이이족 로봇의 보행에서 발과 지면의 물리적인 접촉에 의한 다리 메커니즘의 피로 정도를 파악하는데 있어서 유용하고, 적절한 신발 착용 등에 의한 로봇 발 공간에서의 컴플라이언스특성 개선에 활용될 수 있음을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 이족 로봇을 위한 가상의 다리에 기반한 보행 모델을 제시한 후, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제시한 보행 모델의 근본적인 롤/피치/요(roll/pitch/yaw) 운동 특성을 분석한다. 이를 위하여 로봇의 무게 중심과 압력 중심에서의 운동 경로를 사람의 발걸음 운동 패턴과 유사한 임의의 패턴으로 설정하고, 이러한 경로를 따라 보행할 경우에 나타나는 주요 관성 성분 특성을 확인한다. 결과적으로, 이족 보행에서 롤, 피치 및 요 방향으로의 운동은 보행과정에서 생성될 수 있는 자연스러운 현상이며, 이것은 발걸음의 간격, 무게 중심의 위치 및 로봇 몸체의 이동가속도와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보인다. 또한, 이족보행의 밸런스 관점에서 발의 위치 설정을 위한 경로계획의 중요성을 고찰한다.

This is the survey paper on the role of kinematics in robot development. The robot is considered as a form of mechanical systems which includes closed-chain loop system, open-chain loop system and closed and open switching system. To analyze these systems, kinematic notations has been developed in kinematics of mechanical theory since 1955 and has been applied in robotics. Several kinematic notations including Denavit-Hartenberg notations have been reviewed. The status of development of the spherical motor which has a great impact on the future robot advancement has reviewed, and research activity on a spherical motor and its application to 3-D spatial mechanisms at UNIST is introduced. For the open and closed switching mechanical systems, the bipedal robots' walking theories using Zero Moment Point are reviewed. And current status regarding bipedal robots based on newly developed passive dynamic walking theory is reviewed with the research activity at UNIST on this subject.

Although the progress in bipedal walking is impressive in recent years, biped robots still require very high torque and can walk only for a short time interval with their internal batteries. Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to enhance walking efficiency of these robots. In order to achieve this goal, we attempt to imitate human walking with pelvis and waist joint rotations in the frontal plane. In order to investigate the effect of the pelvis and waist joint rotations in the frontal plane motion, we study the frontal plane model with a triangular structure made up of a waist joint and two hip joints. Through simulation, we show that the pelvis rotation can reduce the maximum torque and the control effort, and the waist joint rotation can reduce the trunk sway caused by the pelvis rotation. The combination of these two rotations makes the bipedal walking in the frontal plane more efficient.

This paper proposes a controller to regulate the supply pressure of the hydraulic power unit (HPU) for driving a bipedal robot. We establish flow rate models for charging accumulator, actuating joints and leaking from actuators and spool valves. This determines the pump driving motor speed to satisfy the demanded flow rate for operating the bipedal robot without the energy loss caused by the bypass through a pressure regulating valve. We apply proposed controller to an onboard HPU mounted on top of bipedal robot platform with twelve degrees of freedom. We implement air-walking motion and squat motion which require variable flow rate to the bipedal robot. Through this experiment, the energy efficiency of proposed controller was verified by comparing the electric energy consumed when the controller was applied and when the pump operated at constant speed. We also shows the capability of the HPU's control performance to regulate supply pressure.

Although human-sized bipedal humanoid robots have been developed as the ideal form of human-friendly robots, studies of humanoid robots from the user perspective and of actual interaction between humanoid robots and the public in daily environments are few. This paper presents a long-term public demonstration that encouraged interaction between a humanoid robot and unspecified individuals. We have collected a significant amount of subjective evaluation data from the public by performing a storytelling demonstration that enhanced people's empathy towards the robot. The evaluation model consists of the robot's human friendliness, which involves its impression on humans, interaction with humans, and imitation of human motions and the robot's human appearance which involves gender, age, height, and body type. This study shows that there is no significant difference in human-friendliness between gender groups (male and female), while there is a significant difference between age groups (children and adults). In human appearance, it appears that there is no significant difference between either gender groups or age groups, except for the case of the robot's height.

Bipedal robots tend to have greater mobility than conventional treaded or wheeled robots yet they are commonly complicated by instabilities in balance. This paper presents a bipedal robot based upon Jansen's locomotive mechanism which addresses these challenges in stability and efficiency. In order to achieve a functioning robot, we considered a multitude of variables in its motion including, the Ground Score, Drag Score, step size, foot lift, stride, and instantaneous speed of the Jansen mechanism. Matlab and Jansen Opt solver were used to optimize the legs of the robot. A trial and error experimental method was used to determine the best combination of link lengths, and m.Sketch was used to model our results. Finally, we drew the entirety of the robot's figure by using the Edison design.

In the research of biomechanical engineering, robotics and neurophysiology, to clarify the mechanism of human bipedal walking is of major interest. It serves as a basis of developing several applications such as rehabilitation tools and humanoid robots Nevertheless, because of complexity of the neuronal system that Interacts with the body dynamics system to make walking movements, much is left unknown about the details of locomotion mechanism. Researchers were looking for the optimal model of the neuronal system by trials and errors. In this paper, we applied Genetic Programming to induce the model of the nervous system automatically and showed its effectiveness by simulating a human bipedal walking with the obtained model.

생체 공학이나 신경생리학, 로봇공학에서는 인간의 2족 보행 메커니즘을 알아내는 것이 중요한 연구과제이며 그에 대한 연구 성과는 재활도구나 컴퓨터 애니메이션 및 인간형 로봇과 같은 다양한 응용분야에 있어서의 기초 기술로서 제공되어질 것을 기대하고 있다. 반면에 인간의 2보행 운동은 신경계와 역학계에 의한 복잡한 상호작용으로, 그 실현 메커니즘에 있어 신경계의 구체적인 제어방법에 관해서는 그 복잡성 때문에 아직 많은 부분이 불명확하게 남겨져 있다. 따라서 전문가에 의한, 매번 시행착오를 통해 신경계의 상세한 설계를 할 필요가 있다. 이 논문은 유전자 프로그래밍을 이용하여 신경계의 구조와 Parameter를 자동적으로 최적화하는 모델을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 확인하였다.

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.
