The paper deals with designing and developing a biped robot for research purposes. Robot’s mechanical structure and drives system are described hereunder in details. Moreover the new modified actuators as well as the possibility to the stabilization of robot with serial elasticity in the joints are discussed. An industrial Ethernet-based real-time communication protocol is introduced and the co...

Meltran V, a new biped robot with telescopic legs, is introduced. For 3D walking control of the robot we analyze the dynamics of a three-dimensional inverted pendulum in which motion is constrained to move along an arbitrarily de ned plane. From this analysis we obtain simple linear dynamics, the ThreeDimensional Linear Inverted Pendulum Mode (3DLIPM). Using a real-time control method based on ...

CIIPS Glory is using a local intelligence approach to solve the task of robot soccer. In this respect our system is much closer to the F-2000 league (mid-size) than other approaches in the F180 (small-size) league. We are using EyeBot controllers, the RoBIOS operating system and the EyeCam digital onboard camera systems (CMOS). Our robot family also comprises 6-legged and biped walking machines...

Many biped robot control schemes adopt a zero moment point (ZMP) criterion, where the motion is initially planned as the positional trajectories such that ZMP stays within the support polygon, while the feedback control of each joint is later applied to follow the planned reference motion. Although this method is powerful, the ZMP is not always controlled in a feedback manner. Namely, when the ...

A not trivial problem in bipedal robot walking is the instability produced by violent transitions between the different walk phases. In this work a dynamic algorithm to control a biped robot is proposed. The algorithm is based on cubic polynomial interpolation of the initial conditions for the robot’s position, velocity and acceleration. This guarantee a constant velocity an a smooth transition...

The interest in biped robots has highly increased in the last few years. The availability of cheap and advanced actuators and electronic controllers allowed the realization of many biped systems. There are some very famous humanoid robots, like the SONY SDR3X, or the HONDA Asimo. But there are also a lot of other biped robots at university research level. Many control strategy have been propose...

MEL HORSE has been developed for studying quadruped robot and biped robot. Biped robot "MEL Deinonychus II" is a fore-portion of "MEL HORSE II". To develop legged robot, we can not avoid the problem how to control the robot real-timely. Control of ZMP(Zero Moment Point) is indispensable in order for a legged type robot to dynamic walk. Conventionally, control of ZMP prepared a trajectory with w...

S3 MIT learning biped. This movie begins with the powered robot imitating passive walking down a 0.9 degree slope, from three camera angles. Then it shows the robot learning to walk on flat terrain with foam protective pads. The controller kicks the robot into random initial conditions between learning trials. After a few minutes, the robot is walking well in place, so we command it to walk in ...

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...
