Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, the central mode generator simply changes the output of the Hopf oscillator, and at the same time, uses the body posture of the foot robot as a simple proportional differential feedback signal, and combines the two as the final gait control signal of the foot robot. It is because the change of the output signal of the Hopf oscillator is too simplified, resulting in large pitching and rolling motions of the footed robot during the movement process, resulting in low stability of the footed robot during the movement process.
[0006] The previous gait controller of the footed robot based on the Hopf oscillator, the gait controller is not enough to simulate the details of the animal's diagonal gait movement, which makes the quadruped robot very poor in stability during the movement process

Embodiment 1

[0069] This embodiment provides a general gait design and control method for legged robots. In terms of gait design, the present invention simplifies the gait design into gait parameter settings, and a set of gait parameters corresponds to a gait type. A set of key position points within a gait cycle. Each gait cycle has two states: turning on the ground and swinging in the air. Each leg is performing the same gait cycle repeatedly, but the starting position is different (there is a phase difference). This method can quickly design a variety of gaits for the robot and smoothly switch between different gaits; in terms of control, the present invention provides a set of controls for different robot walking gaits, walking speeds, leg heights, body heights, etc. A general set of foot trajectory calculation methods for legged robots can adapt to various complex terrains.

Abstract

The invention provides a universal gait design and control method for a foot-type robot. The gait design comprises the steps of: determining gait parameters including StepsInGait, NrLiftedPos, TLDivFactor, HalfLiftHeigh and initial key point position parameters of gait periods of all legs of the foot-type robot, determining key position points in one group of gait periods through the parameters; and the control method comprises the steps that foot end position coordinates of each leg of the robot in one gait period are obtained, and the rotation angle of each joint of the leg is solved according to the kinematics model and inverse kinematics. According to the invention, gait design is simplified into gait parameter setting, one group of gait parameters corresponds to one gait type, and keyposition points in one group of gait periods are determined; aiming at different control quantities such as walking gait, walking speed, leg lifting height and machine body height of the robot, the invention provides a set of universal foot end track calculation method for the foot type robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of legged robots, in particular to a general gait design and control method for legged robots. Background technique [0002] Compared with other mobile robots, legged mobile robots have higher flexibility and environmental adaptability, and have attracted more and more attention from researchers. According to the number of robot legs, it can be divided into two categories: single-legged robots and multi-legged robots. Among them, quadruped robots are the main ones among multi-legged robots. This is because, on the one hand, from the perspective of bionics , higher mammals are almost all quadrupeds. On the other hand, from the perspective of the control of legged robots, quadruped robots move more smoothly than biped robots. There are also relatively common hexapod robots. The control method Similar to a quadruped robot, it is simpler to control than a single robot. For example, the patent application publi...
