The dynamic walking and the inverse dynamics of the biped walking robot is investigated in this paper. The biped robot is modeled with 14 degrees of freedom rigid bodies considering the walking pattern and kinematic construction of humanoid. The method of the computer aided multibody dynamics is applied to the dynamic analysis. The equations of motion of biped are initially represented as terms of the Cartesian coordinates, then they are converted to the minimum number of equations of motion in terms of the joint coordinates using the velocity transformation matrix. For the consideration of the relationships between the ground and foot, the holonomic constraints are added or deleted on the equations of motion. The number of these constraints can be changed by types of walking pattern with three modes. In order for the dynamic walking to be stabilizable, optimized trunk positions are iteratively determined by satisfying the system ZMP(Zero Moment Point) and ground conditions.

This paper presents a three dimensional modeling and a trajectory generation for minimized impact walking of the biped robot. Inverse dynamic analysis and forward dynamic analysis are performed considering impact force between the foot and ground for determining the actuator capacity and for simulating the proposed biped walking robot. Double support phase walking is considered for close to human's with adding the kinematic constraints on the one of the single support phase.

This paper describes realtime walking based on sensory information. In this study, a biped robot having a trunk is considered. The motion of the trunk balances the whole body of the biped robot while the legs locomotes on the ground. How to calculate the motion of the trunk is proposed using the ZMP concept. Also, an online walking pattern is discussed which is generated in realtime on the basis of walking parameters selected by visual and auditory sensors. In order to realize biped walking, we have constructed a forty-three degrees of freedom biped robot, WABIAN-RV (WAseda BIped humANoid robot-Revised V). Its height is 1.89[m] and its total weight is 131.4[kg]. Various walking experiments using WABIAN-RV are conducted on the plane, and the validity of its mechanism and control is verified.

Biped robot with high DOF has instability in mechanism. Therefore, it is important to guarantee walking stability of biped robot. Biped robot can stably walk on the flat ground using static walking patterns. However, walking stability of robot becomes increasingly worse on the uneven terrain. In the paper, we propose a robust walking algorithm of biped robot with motion stabilization to solve the problem The proposed algorithm was designed to stabilize walking motions based on the inclination of robot body using a gyro sensor and a accelerometer equipped in the center of the upper body. If unstable motions are recognized, angles of each joints are modified to increase stability by using compensation of angles of lower legs. The experimental results show that biped robot performs stable walking on the uneven terrain.

A biped walking robot which is developed as a platform for researching walking algorithm is briefly introduced. The developed walking robot has 6 degrees of freedom per one leg. The origins of the last three axis do not intersect at a point, so the kinematic analysis is cubmersome with the conventional method. In the former version of the robot, Jacobian-based inverse kinematics method is used. However, the Jacobian-based inverse kinematics method has drawbacks for the application in which knee is fully extended such as stair-case walking. The reason far that is the Jacobian becomes ill-conditioned near the singular points and the method is not able to give adequate solutions. So, a method for giving a closed-form inverse kinematics solution is proposed. The proposed method is based on careful consideration of the kinematic structure of the biped walking robot.

In this paper, we introduce biped walking robot which can static walking with 22 degree-of-freedoms. The developed biped walking robot is 480mm tall and 2500g, and 22 RC servo motors are used to actuate. Before made an active algorithm, we generated the motions of robot with the motion simulator which developed using by C language. The two dimension simulator is Based on the inverse kinematics and D-H transform. The simulator implements various motions as inputted the ankle's trajectory. Also we developed a simulator which is applied the principle of inverted pendulum to acquires the center of gravity. As we use this simulator, we can get the best appropriate angle of ankle and pelvis when the robot lifts up its one side leg during the working. We implement the walking motions which is based on the data(angle) getting from both of simulators. The robot can be controlled by text shaped command through RF signal of wireless modem which connected with laptop computer by serial cable.

This paper aims to generate the static walking pattern of a biped robot on stairs and to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm using its ankle and pelvis. Differently from the previous biped robots, our biped robot has the peculiar mechanism on its ankle and pelvis. By using this mechanism, we can reduce the load in the knee when a biped robot ascends the stairs. This means that a biped robot can climb up a higher step. The stairs walking trajectory that is separated into a ankle trajectory and a pelvis trajectory is generated by cubic spline interpolation. Finally, we confirm the feasibility of the proposed algorithm through the computer simulation and the real walking experiment.

In the paper, we propose an stable walking algorithm of biped robot on the ground and working motion stabilization algorithm against external disturbances. We propose obstacle hurdling, incline walking, and going-up stairs algorithm by using infrared sensors and F/T sensors. Also, posture stabilization algorithm against external forces is designed using F/T sensors. Infrared sensors are used to detect the obstacles in he working environment and F/T sensors are used to obtain the ZMP of biped robot. The experimental results show that the biped robot performs obstacle avoidance, obstacle hurdling, walking on the inclined plane by using the proposed walking moton stabilization algorithm.

This paper is concerned with the balancing motion formulation and the control of ZMP (zero moment point) for a biped walking robot with balancing joints. The balancing equation of a biped robot can be modeled as the second order non-homogeneous differential equation, which makes it possible to plan the desired trajectories for various gaits or motions. Also, the balancing motion can be defined easily by solving the differential equation without pre-processing or heuristic procedures. The actual experiments are performed on biped walking robot system IWR-III, developed in our Automatic Control Lab. The system has the structure of three pitches in each leg, and one roll and one prismatic type in balancing joints. The walking simulations and the experimental results on IWR-III are shown using the proposed formula and control algorithm.
