[0063] The overall motion of the wheeled biped robot provided by the application mainly includes joint motion driven by the driving motor one 7 and foot end motion driven by the driving motor two 16.

[0064] Specifically, the foot end motion is planar motion including planar forward and backward movement, planar rotation and balance movement; the joint motion includes standing motion, jumping motion and adaptive motion matching the ground height of the robot body; since the joint motion and the foot end motion can be regarded as two independent parts, they are decoupled into two parts, a kinematics model is established through the actual physical quantity of the robot, a discrete control model is obtained, so that the controller can control the robot, wherein the joint motion driving motor (i.e. the driving motor one 7) uses position control mode, and the foot end motion driving motor (i.e. the driving motor two 16) uses torque control mode.

[0065] A control method of a wheeled biped robot, including joint motion driven by the driving motor one 7 and foot end motion driven by the driving motor two 16;

[0066] The control method of the foot end motion includes the following steps:

[0067] S1, establishing a wheeled planar dynamics model;

[0068] S2, a wheeled steering dynamics model is established;

[0069] The control method of the articulation comprises the following steps:

[0070] S3, a leg support kinematics model is established;

[0071] S4, a leg jumping kinematics model is established.

[0072] In this embodiment, the method for establishing the wheeled planar dynamics model and the wheeled steering dynamics model in S1 and S2 is: force and torque balance equations are established for the driving wheels respectively, and force and torque balance equations after the center of mass is translated, so as to obtain complete driving wheel dynamics models and steering dynamics models.

[0073] In this embodiment, the method for establishing the leg support kinematics model in S3 is: through motion analysis of the leg rods, it is assumed that the robot foot end point moves approximately in a straight line within a set range, the relationship between the robot joint motor angle and the foot end height is calculated, a polynomial is obtained through multiple linear fitting, so that the controller can directly map the robot body height to the joint motor angle, and a posture control matrix is established for the robot body, so that the remote controller can control the roll angle and yaw angle of the robot;

[0074] The method for establishing the leg jumping kinematics model in S4 is: after the robot leg rods, joint connection mode, number and type are determined, the motion speed of the robot foot end point is controlled according to the motion state and target of the robot, and combining energy conversion and loss, gravity center control, landing impact and the influence of load factors, the corresponding leg jumping kinematics equation is established, so as to obtain the lowest jumping speed and the highest jumping speed required for the robot to leave the ground.

[0075] Specifically, the foot end motion is mainly divided into three kinds of motions: planar, rotation and balance, and finally a control torque is applied to the foot end motor to achieve the control purpose. Since the foot end motion of the wheeled biped robot can be regarded as a simplified inverted pendulum model, force and torque balance equations are established for the driving wheels respectively, and force and torque balance equations after the center of mass is translated, so as to obtain complete driving wheel dynamics equations.

[0076] The steering motion of the wheeled biped robot mainly relies on the speed difference between the left and right driving motors to adjust the direction, and the balance equation is established in the same way to obtain the dynamics equation of the steering motion.

[0077] About the joint movement, including leg support movement and leg jumping movement; Specifically, when the wheeled biped robot is in a static state, the left and right drive wheels are always in contact with the ground in this case, and the leg is in a support phase at this time. Through the movement analysis of the leg bar, it is concluded that the foot end point makes approximate straight line motion in the set range when adjusting the height of the robot (only one motor is used, and the bar mechanism is designed), in order to simplify the operation amount of the controller, the relationship between all joint motor rotation angle θ and foot end height is calculated in advance, and a polynomial is obtained through multiple linear fitting, so that the controller can directly map the body height to the motor rotation angle, and the posture control matrix of the body is established, so that the remote controller can control the roll angle and yaw angle of the robot.

[0078] When designing the leg jumping movement, the speed of the foot end point of the wheeled biped robot needs to be controlled during jumping, and the lowest and highest jumping speeds required for the robot to take off under the current load need to be calculated in advance during design.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
