Uneven Terrain Walking with Linear and Angular Momentum Allocation.

Uneven terrain walking is hard to achieve for most child-size humanoid robots, as they are unable to accurately detect ground conditions. In order to reduce the demand for ground detection accuracy, a walking control framework based on centroidal momentum allocation is studied in this paper, enabling a child-size humanoid robot to walk on uneven terrain without using ground flatness information. The control framework consists of three controllers: momentum decreasing controller, posture controller, admittance controller.

Learning 3D Bipedal Walking with Planned Footsteps and Fourier Series Periodic Gait Planning.

Reinforcement learning provides a general framework for achieving autonomy and diversity in traditional robot motion control. Robots must walk dynamically to adapt to different ground environments in complex environments. To achieve walking ability similar to that of humans, robots must be able to perceive, understand and interact with the surrounding environment.

Kid-size robot humanoid walking with heel-contact and toe-off motion.

Human-like features, like toe-off, heel-strike can enhance the performance of bipedal robots. However, few studies have considered the anthropomorphism of walking planning. Fewer studies have achieved their toe-off, heel-strike gait planning framework in a child-sized humanoid robot platform.

Real-Time Footprint Planning and Model Predictive Control Based Method for Stable Biped Walking.

In order to walk in a physical environment, the biped will encounter various external disturbances, and walking under persistent conditions is still challenging. This paper tries to improve the push recovery performance based on capture point (CP) and model predictive control. The trajectory of zero moment point (ZMP) and center of mass are solved and predicted in a limited time horizon.
