This paper represents mechanical compliance & ZMP(Zero Moment Point) control algorithm for IWR(Inha Walking Robot) system. In case of walking in different environments, a biped walking robot must vary its gait(walking period or step length, etc.) according to the environments. However, most of biped walking robots do not have the capability to change their gaits or need more complex control algorithm, because ZMP cannot be defined in their control algorithm. Therefore new linear type with balancing joint is proposed which is used as an aid in balancing & ZMP control itself. In IWR system, ZMP can be defined by solving differential equations and it does not need to be predefined ZMP trajectory. Furthermore we can input the desired ZMP position. In parallel with the development, we also considered a mechanical compliance for reducing the inverse kinematics, dynamics and the control complexity. It will figure out some powerful adaptation with 3D irregular terrains.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) named KUBIR1 driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. KUBIR1 was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. To utilize the information 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 interface was developed based on the OpenGL tool. Through the graphic interface, the control input of KUBIR1 is performed.

We developed a motion capture system to get angle data of human joints in the walking mode. The motion capture system is a pair of leg-shape device, which is composed of three links with ankle, knee and pelvis joints. The sensors for measurement of the joint angle are potentiometers. We used an A/D converter to get digital data from joint angles, and which are used to simulate and coordinate the biped-walking robot developed in our laboratory. To simulate and analyze walking motion, animation based on three-dimension motion is performed using the open inventor software.

In this paper, a humanoid robot is simulated and implemented to walk up a staircase using the blending polynomial and genetic algorithm. Using recently developed kinematics for a biped robot, four schemes for walking up a staircase are newly proposed and simulated separately. For the two schemes of landing a swaying leg on the upper stair, the joint trajectories of seven motors are particularly optimized to generate an energy-minimal motion with the guarantee of walking stability. The proposed scheme of walking upstair is validated by an experiment with a small humanoid robot.

이족보행로봇을 실생활에 적용하기 위해서는 비평탄지형에서의 안정적인 보행 및 자세 안정화가 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이족보행로봇의 비평탄지형 보행알고리즘과 외력에 대한 자세안정화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 다양한 형태의 장애물, 계단, 경사면의 비평탄지형에서 안정적 보행이 가능한 이족보행로봇의 기구부 및 원격제어 가능한 제어시스템 설계에 대하여 설명하고, 이러한 비평탄지형에서 발에 부착된 적외선센서 및 FSR센서, 머리에 장착된 카메라를 사용한 안정된 지능보행 및 원격제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 발바닥에 장착된 FSR센서를 사용하여 외부에서 들어오는 외력에 대처하는 자세안정화 알고리즘도 제안하였다. 제안된 비평탄지형 보행 및 자세안정화 알고리즘, 원격제어기법은 실제 제작된 이족보행로봇을 다양한 장애물을 포함한 환경에서 실험하여 성능을 검증하였다.

이족 보행 로봇을 실생활에 적용하기 위해서는 다양한 환경에서의 강인한 보행 뿐만 아니라, 현재 위치를 인식하여 목표 위치로의 경로를 생성하고, 경로를 추종하는 기능이 요구된다. 최근에 많이 사용되고 있는 RFID는 이동 로봇의 위치인식 및 경로 생성에 손쉽게 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 이족 로봇은 보행시에 불안정성을 내포하고 있어 주어진 경로에서 벗어나기 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 FSR(Force Sensing Resistor)센서, 자이로와 가속도 센서를 이용하여 이족 보행 로봇의 보행 안정화 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 양발에 RFID 센서를 장착하여 이족 보행 로봇의 위치 인식 후 경로를 추종하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 보행 안정화 알고리즘은 실제 제작된 이족 보행 로봇을 이용하여 비평탄 지형에서 실험하여 검증하였으며, 경로 추종 실험은 RFID센서를 로봇의 발바닥에 장착하여 평탄 지형에서 보행실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper presents the robust control method using a self recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN) via adaptive backstepping design technique for stable walking of biped robots with unknown model uncertainties. The SRWNN, which has the properties such as fast convergence and simple structure, is used as the uncertainty observer of the biped robots. The adaptation laws for weights of the SRWNN and reconstruction error compensator are induced from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used for on-line controlling biped robots. Computer simulations of a five-link biped robot with unknown model uncertainties verify the validity of the proposed control system.

One of the most important functions of a biped robot is to walk naturally like human. For the human being, toe is very important joint in order to walk naturally. Thus, for a biped robot, the existence of toe joint much affects gait pattern generation and contributes to natural walking, which is similar to the human gait or faster walking like running. Since a conventional biped robot has the feet which consist of soles without toes, it seems difficult to walk naturally. For realizing the gait to be similar to human one, toes are necessary to the biped robot. In this paper, the effect of the toe joint for gait pattern generation is studied. In order to find the effect of toe joint, a biped r...

This paper proposes a method that minimizes the consumed energy by searching the optimal locations of the mass centers of the biped robot's links using Genetic Algorithm. This paper presents a learning controller for repetitive gait control of the biped robot. The learning control scheme consists of a feedforward learning nile and linear feedback control input for stabilization of learning system. The feasibility of learning control to the biped robotic motion is shown via computer simulation and experimental results with 24 DOF biped walking robot.
