If a biped humanoid robot walks stably on even and uneven planes like a human being, it should have a control system capable of compensating for moments generated by motions of its lower-limbs, upper-limbs and head. In this paper, a compensatory motion control method is described for the stability of biped humanoid robots. This control method calculates the combined motion of the trunk and the waist that cancels the generated moments by using an iteration algorithm. During the biped walking, the combined motion is employed only for stability while the motion of the lower-limbs is used only for locomotion. This method is useful for not only a steady walking but also a transient walking. The e...

This paper deals with the real-time stable walking for a humanoid robot, ISHURO-II, on uneven terrain. A humanoid robot necessitates achieving posture stabilization since it has basic problems such as structural instability. In this paper, a stabilization algorithm is proposed using the ground reaction forces, which are measured using FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) sensors during walking, and the ground conditions are estimated from these data. From this information the robot selects the proper motion pattern and overcomes ground irregularities effectively. In order to generate the proper reaction under the various ground situations, a fuzzy algorithm is applied in finding the proper angle of the joint. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and walking experiments on a 24-DOFs humanoid robot, ISHURO-II.

This study has designed a walking mechanism that is able to pass by a variety of environments, such as slope, obstructions, special surface in there, the mechanism suggested by Janssen has shown an ideal bridge structure made of 11 joints. V in the study, these programs are use that is m-sketch, m-designer, Janssen mechanism optimization solver for the optimum design of m-sketch, 3D component reflecting the given strip dimension is used because there is a limit in the given. As a result, a stable mechanism for walking could be implemented.

This paper proposes an effective walking system for a hexapod robot on uneven terrain. To overcome the deficiencies of two-pair walking systems, which are effective on even terrain, the use of only three legs changes the steps required for movement. The proposed system receives feedback data from switches attached to the bottom of the legs and gyro sensor to carry out stable walking using the Bezier curve algorithm. From the coordinates of the Bezier curve, which guarantees the circular motion of legs, the motor's angle value can be obtained using inverse kinematics. The angle values are sent to each motor though RS-485 communication. If a switch is pushed by the surface during navigation in the Bezier curve pattern, the robot is designed to change its circular course. Through the changed course, each leg can be located on an optimal surface and the wobble phenomenon is reduced by using a normal vector algorithm. The simulation and experiment results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a control algorithm for a wearable walking aid robot for subjects with paraplegia after stroke. After a stroke, a slow, asymmetrical and unstable gait pattern is observed in a number of patients. In many cases, one leg can move in a relatively normal pattern, while the other leg is dysfunctional due to paralysis. We have adopted the so-called assist-as-needed control that encourages the patient to walk as much as possible while the robot assists as necessary to create the gait motion of the paralyzed leg. A virtual wall was implemented for the assist-as-needed control. A position based admittance controller was applied in the swing phase to follow human intentions for both the normal and paralyzed legs. A position controller was applied in the stance phase for both legs. A power controller was applied to obtain stable performance in that the output power of the system was delimited during the sample interval. In order to verify the proposed control algorithm, we performed a simulation with 1-DOF leg models. The preliminary results have shown that the control algorithm can follow human intentions during the swing phase by providing as much assistance as needed. In addition, the virtual wall effectively guided the paralyzed leg with stable force display.

In this paper, we deal with the dynamic walking of a humanoid robot. In our method, the inverted pendulum model is used as a dynamic model for a humanoid robot in which the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) and COG constraints of the robot are analyzed by considering the motion of the robot as that of an inverted pendulum. The motion of a humanoid robot should be generated by considering the dynamics of the robot, which commonly requires a large amount of computation. If a robot walks from one position to another while keeping the ZMP in the stable region, then the robot remains dynamically stable. The linear inverted pendulum model regards the whole robot as a point mass. It is simple, and relatively less computation is needed; however, it cannot model the whole dynamics of a humanoid robot. We propose a method for modeling a humanoid robot as an inverted pendulum system having 14 point masses. We also show that the dynamic stability of a humanoid robot can be determined more precisely by our method.

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.

This paper aims to provide a way to improve dynamic stability of biped robots against undesirable disturbances and in a slope. By using an angular velocity sensor and an acceleration sensor on its waist, we can make a medium-sized biped robot walk stably in a slope against impulsive disturbances. In addition, it is possible for the robot to walk stably in an unknown slope. The measured signals from the sensor are used for compensating the reference angles of ankle, knee, and pelvis joints. Some experiments show that the stability of the robot is much enhanced by using cheat sensors and a simple algorithm. This work helps bided robots walk more stably in real environments.
