Periodic Trajectory Planning and Robust Output Zeroing Control for Underactuated Bipedal Robots with Predicted Disturbances

摘要

For underactuated bipedal robots, it is important to compensate disturbances which affects the zero dynamics to realize a stable locomotion when we use output zeroing controllers. In order to deal with such disturbances, this paper presents a framework of a periodic trajectory planning and a robust output zeroing controller using a disturbance model learned by Gaussian process regression (GPR). In particular, we propose a control method considering the modeling uncertainty of the disturbance model by using a variance information of GPR model. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method through a numerical simulation of walking control of an underactuated robot model affected by an external force.
