Quadruped robots manifest great potential to traverse rough terrains with payload. Numerous traditional control methods for legged dynamic locomotion are model-based and exhibit high sensitivity to model uncertainties and payload variations. Therefore, high-performance model parameter estimation becomes indispensable. However, the inertia parameters of payload are usually unknown and dynamically changing when the quadruped robot is deployed in versatile tasks. To address this problem, online identification of the inertia parameters and the Center of Mass (CoM) position of the payload for the quadruped robots draw an increasing interest. This study presents an adaptive controller based on the online payload identification for the high payload capacity (the ratio between payload and robots self-weight) quadruped locomotion. We name it as Adaptive Controller for Quadruped Locomotion (ACQL), which consists of a recursive update law and a control law. ACQL estimates the external forces and torques induced by the payload online. The estimation is incorporated in inverse-dynamics-based Quadratic Programming (QP) to realize a trotting gait. As such, the tracking accuracy of the robots CoM and orientation trajectories are improved. The proposed method, ACQL, is verified in a real quadruped robot platform. Experiments prove the estimation efficacy for the payload weighing from 20 kg to 75 kg and loaded at different locations of the robots torso.
Legged robot locomotion requires the planning of stable reference trajectories, especially while traversing uneven terrain. The proposed trajectory optimization framework is capable of generating dynamically stable base and footstep trajectories for
Despite the great progress in quadrupedal robotics during the last decade, selecting good contacts (footholds) in highly uneven and cluttered environments still remains an open challenge. This paper builds upon a state-of-the-art approach, already su
The potential diagnostic applications of magnet-actuated capsules have been greatly increased in recent years. For most of these potential applications, accurate position control of the capsule have been highly demanding. However, the friction betwee
We introduce reachability analysis for the formal examination of robots. We propose a novel identification method, which preserves reachset conformance of linear systems. We additionally propose a simultaneous identification and control synthesis sch
Animals have remarkable abilities to adapt locomotion to different terrains and tasks. However, robots trained by means of reinforcement learning are typically able to solve only a single task and a transferred policy is usually inferior to that trai
