Variable Impedance Actuation to Increase the Behavioural Diversity of Legged Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
A single leg hopping robot has been constructed which includes a clutch in series with the hip motor and a prototype Linear Multi-Modal Actuator (LMMA) at the knee. The single leg will be used to test how the different actuation methods can improve the behavioural diversity of the robot.

Stiffness control of a legged robot equipped with a serial manipulator in stance phase
The ability to perform different tasks by a serial manipulator mounted on legged robots, increases the capabilities of the robot. The position/force control problem of such a robot in the stance phase with point contacts on the ground is investigated here. A target plane with known stiffness is specified in the workspace. Active joints of the legs and serial manipulator are used to exert the de...
متن کاملEnergy Dissipation Rate Control Via a Semi-Analytical Pattern Generation Approach for Planar Three-Legged Galloping Robot based on the Property of Passive Dynamic Walking
In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...
متن کاملRapid Manufacture of Novel Variable Impedance Robots
Variable stiffness and variable damping can play an important role in robot movement, particularly for legged robots such as bipedal walkers. Variable impedance also introduces new control problems, since there are more degrees of freedom to control, and the resulting robot has more complex dynamics. In this paper, we introduce novel design and fabrication methodologies that are capable of prod...
متن کاملIs Active Impedance the Key to a Breakthrough for Legged Robots?
This work addresses the question whether active impedance control is key to a breakthrough for legged robots. In this paper, we will talk about controlling the mechanical impedance of joints and legs with a focus on stiffness and damping control. In contrast to passive elements like springs, active impedance is achieved by torque-controlled joints allowing real-time adjustment of stiffness and ...
متن کاملVariable Impedance Control for Rehabilitation Robot using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic
In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...
