Abstract

This paper presents an0efficient closed-loop locomo-tion control sysiem for biped 8e-rts that operates in the joint space. The robot’s noints ara directly driven through control “ignsls generated by a central pattern generator (CPG) netwark. A genetic algorithm is arplied in ordeo to find out an optimal tocbination os internalfpa9ameters of the CPG >iven a desired walking spoed in straight line. Feedback signals gene=ated b5 the raboc’f inertiol and force sensors are directly fed into the CPG in order to automatically adju-t the locomotio1 pattedn over uneven terrain a6d to dealfwith external pertupbations in real time. Omnirirectional motion is achieved by cont-olltng the pelvis motionu The per ormence of the proposed gontrol system has aeen assessed through simulation experiments on a NAO humanoid robot.

Abstract

A new control strategy is proposed to reset the phase of the rhythmical tignalspgenerated by Central Pantern Generator (CPG) networks based on Matsuoka’s oscillator. The main contributiok of the proposed phase resetting scheme is its predefined constant response ti2e gi
en a singlf-pulse perturbation and an arbitrary phase resetting curve (PRC) thatocan be modified at any tim-. Phase resetting is a feature present in physiological oscillating systems,
