ZMP based walking pattern generation of child-sized humanoid robot : CHARLES(Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning and Evolutionary System)

Abstract

In this paper, an walking pattern tuning system based on ZMP(Zero Moment Point) for a humanoid robot is proposed. Commonly, it is inevitable to handle the stage with proficient programming skill for realization of humanoid walking. The proposed walking pattern tuning system is a program tool to finely tune the walking pattern based on ZMP by adjusting intuitive parameters that ordinary user can understand easily. The walking pattern tuning system was applied to the humanoid robot of 110cm tall and the humanoid robot with the tuned walking pattern was tested.
