This paper proposes an optimal galloping trajectory which costs low energy and guarantees the stability of the quadruped robot. In the realization of the fast galloping, the trajectory design is important. As a galloping trajectory, we propose an elliptic leg trajectory, which provides simplified locomotion to complex galloping motions of animals. However, the elliptic trajectory, as an imitation of animal galloping motion, does not guarantee stability and minimal energy consumption. We propose optimization based on the energy and stability using a genetic algorithm, which provides the robust and global solution to a multi-body, highly nonlinear dynamic system. To evaluate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed trajectory, computer simulations were carried out.

실내 공기질에 관한 관심과 중요성이 커지고 있으나 현재의 고정된 장비를 이용한 실내 공기질 측정 방법에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동 중 요철에 의한 진동을 최소화하여 탑재된 센서를 보호하기 위해 소형 다족형 로봇에 공기질 측정 장비를 탑재하여 이동형 공기질 측정 로봇을 개발하였다. 개발한 이동형 공기질 측정 로봇은 간단한 보행 메커니즘을 활용하여 DC 모터 두 개의 정회전과 역회전 조합만으로 로봇의 전진, 후진, 좌우 선회가 가능하다. 로봇의 보행이나 보행 궤적을 제어하기 위해 복잡한 연산이 필요치 않고 하나의 아두이노를 사용해 로봇의 보행 제어 및 다양한 공기질 측정 장비의 데이터 획득과 전송을 할 수 있었다. 로봇 전장부의 소모 전력이 낮아 비교적 저용량의 배터리를 탑재하여 배터리로 인한 무게를 줄일 수 있었다. 개발한 로봇은 몸통에 배터리와 모터를 포함하여 다양한 공기질 측정 장비를 탑재하고 1.4kg의 무게를 가지며, 보행 및 선회 속도는 3.75cm/sec와 14.13rad/sec로 측정되었다. 다리의 최대 수직 도달 높이는 33mm였으나, 요철은 최대 24mm 높이까지 극복할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes an optimal trajectory generation method for biped robots for walking up-and-down stairs using a Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA). The RCGA is most effective in minimizing the total consumption energy of a multi-dof biped robot. Each joint angle trajectory is defined as a 4-th order polynomial of which the coefficients are chromosomes or design variables to approximate the walking gait. Constraints are divided into equalities and inequalities. First, equality constraints consist of initial conditions and repeatability conditions with respect to each joint angle and angular velocity at the start and end of a stride period. Next, inequality constraints include collision prevention conditions of a swing leg, singular prevention conditions, and stability conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed optimal trajectory is shown in computer simulations with a 6-dof biped robot model that consists of seven links in the sagittal plane. The optimal trajectory is more efficient than that generated by the Modified Gravity-Compensated Inverted Pendulum Mode (MGCIPM). And various trajectories generated by the proposed GA method are analyzed from the viewpoint of the consumption energy: walking on even ground, ascending stairs, and descending stairs.

A surfaced permanent magnet spherical motor is capable of operating as three degree of freedom that used for the joints of the robot's arm, leg, and eyes. Ongoing research like new concept is essential part of motor field, it will make a great contribution in the future the overall portion of the motor, is becoming expected. The author analysis torque characteristics in spherical motor with state of rotating and positioning. And future design direction is smaller motors with equivalent or higher output. Solutions as torque and efficiency improvements are selecting the core with special processing type like powder metallurgy materials. Their special characteristic is high permeability and low eddy current losses at high speed, so improved the torque and efficiency.
