چکیده

Copying human physiology leads us to the first truly anthropomimetic robot ECCEROBOT, driven by the antagonistically coupled compliant drives. Control design of such a mechanism appears as a really demanding and challenging mission. Puller-follower concept, developed for the robotic joint with antagonistically coupled drives, is expanded to the multi-joint control level. Problems in control of the multi-jointed anthropomimetic robot are highlighted in this paper, and solutions through the robust control and model based compensations are proposed.

The Puller-Follower Control of Compliant and Noncompliant Antagonistic Tendon Drives in Robotic Systems

This paper proposes a new control strategy for noncompliant and compliant antagonistic tendon drives. It is applied to a succession of increasingly complex single‐joint systems, starting with a linear and noncompliant system and ending with a revolute, nonlinearly tendon coupled and compliant system. The last configuration mimics the typical human joint struct...

Modeling and Control of a Compliantly Engineered Anthropomimetic Robot in Contact Tasks

This paper attempts to develop a dynamic model and design a controller for a fully anthropomorphic, compliantly driven robot. To imitate muscles, the robot’s joints are actuated by DC motors antagonistically coupled through tendons. To ensure safe interaction with humans in a human-centered environment, the robot exploits passive mechanical compliance, in the form of elastic springs in the tend...

Dynamical formation control of wheeled mobile robots based on fuzzy logic

In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...

Balance Analysis of the Mobile Anthropomimetic Robot Under Disturbances - ZMP Approach

Throughout the history of technological progress, attempts have been made to build a machine that looks and behaves like humans. This paper presents a semi‐anthropomimetic robot. The robot structure consists of a human‐like upper body mounted on a mobile platform (mobile base, cart). The robot uses the three‐wheeled mobile platform with two driving wheels and on...

Anthropomimetic Robots: Concept, Construction and Modelling

An anthropomimetic robot is one that closely copies the mechanics of the human body by having a human‐like jointed skeleton moved by compliant muscle‐ like actuators. This paper describes the progress achieved in building anthropomimetic torsos in two projects, CRONOS and ECCEROBOT. In each, the bones were hand‐moulded in a thermoplastic and the muscles were imple...
