A walking robot must have the ability to change the body direction in order to avoid the obstacles. In this paper, we develop a gait control algorithm that can maintain the stable movement of the robot for three different modes of changing directions. The algorithm makes it possible for the robot to have the larger gait stability margin than the threshold value by the method of changing the body speed.

When biped robots speed up to run and reduce speed to walk after running, it needs stable speed translation. This paper proposed simple speed translation using the modified LIPM (Linear Inverted Pendulum Mode). We can change stride and period time of a biped robot in some bounded sets with this propose algorithm. This method is simple and effective in simulation.

When biped robots make turns, the ability to walk stably and precisely along any circular path is crucial. In this context, inverse kinematics solutions are found for accurate gait realization, and new zero moment point(ZMP) equations are derived with respect to the cyclindrical coordinate system to facilitate generation of stable walking patterns. Then, appropriate steady and transitional walking patterns are both proposed in form of time functons. Subsequently, walking patterns for a path but of different speeds are generated using the functions and associated formulas, and preliminarily checked for stability based on the ZMP equations. Upon comparison of those cases, one can see how and when robots may fall down during circular walking. Finally, those patterns are put to test on the sample robot by ADAMS(R) along with the inverse kinematics solutions and a new balance control scheme compensating for insufficient stability particulary during the initial transition period. Test results show that the robot can walk along the circular path as predicted at a resonably high speed despite the distributed mass and ground contact effects, validating effectiveness of the suggested approach.

This paper handles ZMP based control that is inspired by neural networks for humanoid robot walking on varying sloped surfaces. Humanoid robots are currently one of the most exciting research topics in the field of robotics, and maintaining stability while they are standing, walking or moving is a key concern. To ensure a steady and smooth walking gait of such robots, a feedforward type of neural network architecture, trained by the back propagation algorithm is employed. The inputs and outputs of the neural network architecture are the ZMPx and ZMPy errors of the robot, and the x, y positions of the robot, respectively. The neural network developed allows the controller to generate the desired balance of the robot positions, resulting in a steady gait for the robot as it moves around on a flat floor, and when it is descending slope. In this paper, experiments of humanoid robot walking are carried out, in which the actual position data from a prototype robot are measured in real time situations, and fed into a neural network inspired controller designed for stable bipedal walking.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of single-leg stance training according to different support surfaces on walking speed and balance in patients with chronic hemiplegia. Methods: Twenty-two patients with chronic stroke were randomly categorized into an experimental group (11 patients) and a control group (11 patients). In the experimental group, single-leg stance training was performed on an unstable surface after 50 min of general physical therapy. In the control group, single-leg stance training was performed on a stable surface after 50 min of general physical therapy. All participants performed five sets of single-leg stance exercises per minute and rested for 3 min. The intervention was performed 5 times a week for 4 weeks, and each patient was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA), and difference in walking speed between the first and last day of the intervention. Results: Compared to baseline measurements, both study groups showed significant increases in FMA, BBS, and walking speed (p<.05) after the intervention. However, there was no statistically significant difference (p>.05) between the experimental and control groups. However, in the experimental group, the increases in FMA, BBS, and walking speed were 3.36 %, 9.50 %, and 7.71 %, respectively. In the control group, the increases in FMA, BBS, and walking speed were 2.39 %, 6.65 %, and 7.64 %. Conclusion: Single-leg stance training on different support surfaces could help improve walking ability and balance in patients with chronic hemiplegia.

인간은 다양한 감정을 가지고 있으며 매 시점의 감정 상태에 따라 사고와 판단, 행동이 영향을 받는다. 특히 어떤 사람의 보행하는 모습만 보아도 그 사람의 감정 상태를 짐작할 수 있을 정도로 보행 또한 감정에 영향을 받는다. 현재 휴머노이드 로봇의 이족보행에 관한 연구는 지면의 상태와 상관없이 안정하게 걷는 것을 주로 다루지만 인간과의 교감을 위해서는 감정상태에 따라 보행하는 패턴이 달라질 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 보행분석 시스템을 이용해서 네 가지 대표적인 감정(기쁨, 슬픔, 화남, 편안함) 상태에 있는 성인남녀의 보행 데이터를 취득 및 분석하고 상호 특성을 비교하는 연구를 수행했다. 본 논문에서 소개 된 정서적 보행 분석 내용은 휴머노이드 로봇의 정서적 보행에 참고 자료로 사용될 예정이다.

이족로봇은 높은 자유도로 인하여 기구적인 불안정성을 내포하고 있기 때문에 보행 시 자세 안정성의 확보가 중요하다. 일반적으로 평지에서는 안정적인 정적 보행이 가능하지만 평지가 아닌 비평탄 지형에서는 보행의 안정성이 현저하게 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 비평탄 지형에서 이족로봇의 자세 안정화를 포함한 강인한 보행 방법을 제안하였다. 이족로봇의 중앙에 장착된 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서 값을 기반으로 보행 순간마다 센서 값을 감지하여 로봇 몸체의 기울어진 각도를 인식하여 보행 자세를 안정화하는 강인 보행 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 비평탄 지형 보행은 로봇의 기울어진 각도를 인식하여 그 상황에 맞게 관절 각도를 변화시켜 이족로봇 상체의 각도가 평지보행에서와 같도록 하체관절의 각도를 보정하여 보행에서의 안정성을 높였다. 제안된 보행알고리즘은 실제 제작된 이족로봇을 사용하여 비평탄 지형에서 실험하여 제안된 보행 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

Contents 1We developed a new type of lower part of the human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch Joints and one roll joint. In all, a 8 degree-of-freedom robot was developed. A new type of actuator for the robot is proposed, which is composed of four bar link mechanism driven by the ball screw. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously by adapting small DC motors for the robot actuators and has an embeded controller system including host computer, batteries and motor drivers. In the performance test, we had basic stable walking data so far, but we f...

In this paper, the new type biped walking robot which is composed of the minimum number or links just for walking and its appropriate gaits are proposed. The proposed new gaits for this robot are four-crossing, crawling, standing and turning gait. In designing the biped robot we propose the Performance Index which means the needed torque per a moving distance and generate foot trajectories by $3^{rd}$ order spline Interpolation. Among those, numerically we find the optimal conditions which minimize the Performance Index. Dynamically stable walking of the biped robot is realized by satisfying the stability condition of ZMP(zero moment point), which is related to maintaining the ZMP within the region of the supporting foot during the s1n91e leg support phase. We determine the region of mass center from the stability condition of ZMP and plan references which track the mass conte. trajectory of constant velocity. Finally we implement the gaits statically tracking the planned trajectories using PD control method.

This study deals with the gait optimization of via points on biped robot. ZMP(Zero Moment Point) is most important index in a biped robot's dynamic walking stability. To stable walking of a biped robot, legs's trajectory and a desired ZMP trajectory is required, balancing weight's movement is solved by FDM(Finite Difference Method). In this study, optimal index is defined to dynamically static walking of a biped robot, and optimization of via points is applied by GA(Genetic Algorithm).
