Presentation Transcript
Definitions • Static Walking • The centre of gravity of the robot is always within the area bounded by the feet that are touching the ground • Dynamic Walking • At significant periods during the gait the centre of gravity of the robot is outside of the area bounded by the feet that are touching the ground
History • Dynamic Walking Toys • Static Walking Wind up Toys • Static Walking Robots • Dynamic Walking Robots
Research Labs • MIT AI Lab • Waseda University • HanYang University • Honda Labs • Sony Labs
The Walking Problem • Design a gait sequence in joint space • Provide sensors and actuators at joints • Implement a PID controller at each joint • Command the PID controllers to follow gait sequence
Challenges • Designing gaits that don’t violate the maximum torque available • PID controller will not be able to generate the large torque until the error between the gait and actual joint angle becomes too large. • Gait design is a time consuming process that is difficult to implement online in real time
Raibert’s One Legged Robot • One Legged • Hopping/Running • Simple Dynamic Model
Leg Lab’s Spring Flamingo • Planar biped robot • Linear actuators • Inverted knees • Toe Lift off
Leg Lab’s M2 • 3D biped • Linear actuators
Waseda’s • Early 3D biped
KAIST’s • DC motors • Servomotors • Onboard camera
Singapore Polytechnics Roboerectus • Servomotors • Gait defines servomotor setpoints
Honda’s Asimo & P3 • Commercial humanoid • Well defined tasks • General Intelligence required
Sony’s BP • Entertainment Robot • Commodity Structure • Stereo vision
Designing Gaits • Controlling Balance • when standing, “not required” when walking • Controlling Speed • change step size (swing leg must keep up) • Controlling Height • used to control speed and energy efficiency • Generate intermediate joint angles based on these constraints
Biped Robot Simulators • Kinematic Simulators • for gait design • Dynamic Simulators • for control system testing • Yobotics Simulation Construction Set • dynamic simulation of linked mechanisms
