Balancing a Humanoid Robot Using Backdrive Concerned Torque Control and Direct Angular Momentum Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel balance control method for a humanoid robot is presented. It consists of a contact torque controller which is designed to have a good backdrivability and a feedback control of the total angular momentum and the center of gravity of a robot. A simulation result of a balance control using a 26 DOF humanoid robot model is shown.

Experiments with Hierarchical Inverse Dynamics Controllers on a Torque Controlled Humanoid
We expect autonomous legged robots to perform complex tasks in persistent interaction with an uncertain and changing environment (e.g. in a disaster relief scenario). Therefore, we need to design algorithms that can generate precise but compliant motions while optimizing the interactions with the environment. In this context, torque control algorithms often offer high performance for motion con...
متن کاملMomentum control with hierarchical inverse dynamics on a torque-controlled humanoid
Hierarchical inverse dynamics based on cascades of quadratic programs have been proposed for the control of legged robots. They have important benefits but to the best of our knowledge have never been implemented on a torque controlled humanoid where model inaccuracies, sensor noise and real-time computation requirements can be problematic. Using a reformulation of existing algorithms, we propo...
متن کاملFlexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot
This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...
متن کاملA Receding Horizon Push Recovery Strategy for Balancing the iCub Humanoid Robot
Balancing and reacting to strong and unexpected pushes is a critical requirement for humanoid robots. We recently designed a capture point based approach which interfaces with a momentum-based torque controller and we implemented and validated it on the iCub humanoid robot. In this work we implement a Receding Horizon control, also known as Model Predictive Control, to add the possibility to pr...
متن کاملA momentum-based balance controller for humanoid robots on non-level and non-stationary ground
Recent research suggests the importance of controlling rotational dynamics of a humanoid robot in balance maintenance and gait. In this paper, we present a novel balance strategy that controls both linear and angular momentum of the robot. The controller’s objective is defined in terms of the desired momenta, allowing intuitive control of the balancing behavior of the robot. By directly determi...
