Control of a Dynamical Biped Locomotion System for Steady Walking

摘要

A dynamic biped locomotion robot which realizes high speed movement is presented. Its walking cycle is about 0.45 s, its speed is about 0.8m/s, and its appearance resembles a human walking. A hierarchical control structure is adopted at the lower level at which the local feedback is implemented. The reference signal to each local controller is supplied from its higher level. The stability of steady walking is examined by using the reduced order model which has been derived by the authors and it is assured by experiments.
