Abstract:
Recently, a lot of research has been conducted in the area of biped walking robots that could be compared to human beings. The aim of this article is to control a new planar biped robot by means of an adaptive procedure. The newly designed robot is able to move on its heel like a human. After derivation of dynamic equations of motion for two states of the robot, namely, "supporting leg and trunk" and "swing leg" separately, the stability of robot is achieved by locating the zero moment point (ZMP). A dynamic modification is developed for ZMP positioning. For motion control of the robot, the physical parameters (such as mass, link length and geometry) are estimated (identified) by adaptive methods. A Matlab based software simulation is also conducted.
