Simulating the Hip and Knee Behavior of a Biped by Means of Nonlinear Oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
Nervous networks in the spinal marrow are capable to produce rhythmic movements, such as: swimming, jumping, and walking. These specialised nervous systems are known as central pattern generators (CPGs). Nonlinear oscillators can be used in control systems of locomotion as pattern generators similar to the pattern of human gait, providing the approach trajectories of the legs. The objective of this work is to present the simulation of the biped gait using a central pattern generator formed by coupled nonlinear oscillators. Using nonlinear oscillators with integer relation of frequency, the transient motion and stable limit cycles of the network formed by oscillators were determined, showing the behavior of the hip and knee angles. Modification of the step length and gait frequency can be obtained by means of the change of few parameters in the oscillators.

Robust Trajectory Free Model Predictive Control of Biped Robots with Adaptive Gait Length
This paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robust trajectory-free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) of biped robots. The NDO is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. In contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...

An ample vision of the state of the technique up to 1990 can be found in works as Raibert (1986) and Vukobratovic et al. (1...
متن کاملSimulating nonlinear behavior of CMD material in seismic analysis of concrete gravity dam
In recent years, a new type of dams namely CMD, has attracted so much attention. Different amounts of cement cause a type of behavior that be somewhere between those of embankment dams and conventional concrete dams. This behavior is not perfectly clarified and its analysis, especially under dynamical loading and in nonlinear region of the material, remains unclear. In this paper, Tobetsu dam h...

A type of nonlinearity in vibrational engineering systems emerges when the restoring force is a nonlinear function of displacement. The derivative of this function is known as stiffness. If the stiffness increases by increasing the value of displacement from the equilibrium position, then the system is known as hardening type oscillator and if the stiffness decreases by increasing the value of ...
