We developed a robot that has four limbs, each of which has the same kinematic structure and has 6 degrees of freedom. The robot is 600mm high and weighs 4.3kg. The robot can perform walking and manipulating task by using the four limbs selectively. The robot has three walking patterns. The first one is biped walking, which uses two rear limbs as legs and two front limbs as arms. The second one is biped walking with supporting arms, which is basically biped walking but uses two arms as supporting legs for increasing stability of the robot. The last one is quadruped walking, which uses all the four limbs as legs. When a task for the robot is given, the robot approaches the task point by selecting an appropriate walking pattern among three walking patterns and performs the task. The robot has many degrees of freedom and is a redundant system for a three dimensional task. We propose a redundancy resolution method, in which the robot’s translational move to the task point is modeled as a prismatic joint and optimal solutions are obtained by optimizing some performance criteria. Several simulations are performed for the validity of the proposed method.

In the systems such as walking robots or high speed operating manipulators, the effect of nonlinear terms is important and can not be neglected. Therefore the application of linear control law to such systems is inadequate. Moreover, because of the mathematical modeling errors the systems may become unstable. In this study, we designed a nonlinear controller with sliding mode scheme, which is robust to the modeling errors and applied this control algorithm to the 5 DOF biped robot system. Throught the computer simulations, we examined walking characteris and walking stability of the 5 DOF biped robot system.

In this paper, it is presented a learning controller for repetitive walking control of biped walking robot. We propose the iterative learning control algorithm which can learn periodic nonlinear load change ocuured due to the walking period through the intelligent control, not calculating the complex dynamics of walking robot. The learning control scheme consists of a feedforward learning rule and linear feedback control input for stabilization of learning system. The feasibility of intelligent control to biped robotic motion is shown via dynamic simulation with 25-DOF biped walking robot.

This paper presents a path planning algorithm for biped walking robot in 3-D workspace. Since the biped walking robot can generate path on some 3-D obstacles that cannot generate path in case of mobile robot, we have to make a new path planning algorithms. A 3-D-to-2-D mapping algorithm is proposed and two kinds of path planning algorithms are also proposed. They make it easier to generate an efficient path for biped walking robot under given environment. Some simulation results are shown to prove the effectiveness of proposed algorithms.

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).

본 논문에서는 이족 로봇 보행 중 전력 소비가 적고 안정한 저전력 보행 궤적 생성 방법을 재안하고, 생성된 보행 궤적의 구현을 위해 25 자유도를 갖는 이족 로봇을 설계 제작하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법에서는 발목 사용 보행의 장점을 이용하고 보행 중 무릎을 크게 굽히는 동작을 줄이기 위해 기존 보행 방법과는 달리 우선 가장 안정한 VPCG 궤적을 생성 하고 생성된 궤적에 따른 발목과 골반의 보행 궤적을 생성한다. 이와 같이 함으로써 이족 로봇이 보행 중 항상 무릎을 굽히지 않으므로 전체 보행 중 전력 소비를 최소화 한다. 한편 제작된 이족 로봇은 발목 사용 시 지면과 잘 접지되는 발 구조와 골반을 유연하게 동작 할 수 있는 특징을 가진다. 마지막으로 이족 로봇의 실제 보행 실험 및 소비 전력 측정 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 발목을 사용하지 않는 기존 방법에 비해 더 안정하고 전력 소비가 더 적음을 확인할 수 있었다.

To implement Argentina tango dancer-like walking of the humanoid robot, a new trajectory generation scheme based on particle swarm optimization of the blending polynomial is presented. Firstly, the characteristics of Argentina tango walking are derived from observation of tango dance. Secondly, these are reflected in walking pose conditions and cost functions of particle swarm optimization to determine the coefficients of blending polynomial. For the stability of biped walking, zero moment point and reference trajectory of swing foot are also included in cost function. Thirdly, after tango walking cycle is divided into 3 stages with 2 postures, optimal trajectories of ankles, knees and hip of lower body, which include 6 sagittal and 4 coronal angles, are derived in consequence of optimization. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed scheme is validated by simulating biped walking of humanoid robot with derived trajectories under the 3D Simscape environment.

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 deals with dynamic walking and inverse dynamic analysis of the IWR biped walking robot. The system has nine bodies of the multibody dynamics. and all of the .joints of them are made up of the revolute joints at first. The problem of redundant constraint in double support phase is solved by changing the type of the joints considering kinematic relation. To make sure of its dynamic walking, the movement of balancing weight is determined by which satisfies not only the condition of ZMP by applying the principle of D'Alembert but also the contact condition of the ground. The modeling of IWR and dynamic walking are realized using DADS.

We developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. The BWR was developed to walk autonomously such that it is actuated by small torque motors and is boarded with DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR performed nice motions of sitting-up and sitting-down. Through the test, we could find capability of high performance in biped-walking.
