Impact mitigation is crucial to the stable locomotion of legged robots, especially in high-speed dynamic locomotion. This paper presents a leg locomotion system including the nonlinear active compliance control and the active impedance control for the steel wire transmission-based legged robot. The developed control system enables high-speed dynamic locomotion with excellent impact mitigation and leg position tracking performance, where three strategies are applied. a) The feed-forward controller is designed according to the linear motor-leg model with the information of Coulomb friction and viscous friction. b) Steel wire transmission model-based compensation guarantees ideal virtual spring compliance characteristics. c) Nonlinear active compliance control and active impedance control ensure better impact mitigation performance than linear scheme and guarantee position tracking performance. The proposed control system is verified on a real robot named SCIT Dog and the experiment demonstrates the ideal impact mitigation ability in high-speed dynamic locomotion without any passive spring mechanism.

We introduce a robust control architecture for the whole-body motion control of torque controlled robots with arms and legs. The method is based on the robust control of contact forces in order to track a planned Center of Mass trajectory. Its appeal
lies in the ability to guarantee robust stability and performance despite rigid body model mismatch, actuator dynamics, delays, contact surface stiffness, and unobserved ground profiles. Furthermore, we introduce a task space decomposition approach which removes the coupling effects between contact force controller and the other non-contact controllers. Finally, we verify our control performance on a quadruped robot and compare its performance to a standard inverse dynamics approach on hardware.
To achieve highly dynamic jumps of legged robots, it is essential to control the rotational dynamics of the robot. In this paper, we aim to improve the jumping performance by proposing a unified model for planning highly dynamic jumps that can approx
imately model the centroidal inertia. This model abstracts the robot as a single rigid body for the base and point masses for the legs. The model is called the Lump Leg Single Rigid Body Model (LL-SRBM) and can be used to plan motions for both bipedal and quadrupedal robots. By taking the effects of leg dynamics into account, LL-SRBM provides a computationally efficient way for the motion planner to change the centroidal inertia of the robot with various leg configurations. Concurrently, we propose a novel contact detection method by using the norm of the average spatial velocity. After the contact is detected, the controller is switched to force control to achieve a soft landing. Twisting jump and forward jump experiments on the bipedal robot SLIDER and quadrupedal robot ANYmal demonstrate the improved jump performance by actively changing the centroidal inertia. These experiments also show the generalization and the robustness of the integrated planning and control framework.
The deployment of robots in industrial and civil scenarios is a viable solution to protect operators from danger and hazards. Shared autonomy is paramount to enable remote control of complex systems such as legged robots, allowing the operator to foc
us on the essential tasks instead of overly detailed execution. To realize this, we propose a comprehensive control framework for inspection and intervention using a legged robot and validate the integration of multiple loco-manipulation algorithms optimised for improving the remote operation. The proposed control offers 3 operation modes: fully automated, semi-autonomous, and the haptic interface receiving onsite physical interaction for assisting teleoperation. Our contribution is the design of a QP-based semi-analytical whole-body control, which is the key to the various task completion subject to internal and external constraints. We demonstrate the versatility of the whole-body control in terms of decoupling tasks, singularity tolerance and constraint satisfaction. We deploy our solution in field trials and evaluate in an emergency setting by an E-stop while the robot is clearing road barriers and traversing difficult terrains.
Recent work has shown results on learning navigation policies for idealized cylinder agents in simulation and transferring them to real wheeled robots. Deploying such navigation policies on legged robots can be challenging due to their complex dynami
cs, and the large dynamical difference between cylinder agents and legged systems. In this work, we learn hierarchical navigation policies that account for the low-level dynamics of legged robots, such as maximum speed, slipping, contacts, and learn to successfully navigate cluttered indoor environments. To enable transfer of policies learned in simulation to new legged robots and hardware, we learn dynamics-aware navigation policies across multiple robots with robot-specific embeddings. The learned embedding is optimized on new robots, while the rest of the policy is kept fixed, allowing for quick adaptation. We train our policies across three legged robots in simulation - 2 quadrupeds (A1, AlienGo) and a hexapod (Daisy). At test time, we study the performance of our learned policy on two new legged robots in simulation (Laikago, 4-legged Daisy), and one real-world quadrupedal robot (A1). Our experiments show that our learned policy can sample-efficiently generalize to previously unseen robots, and enable sim-to-real transfer of navigation policies for legged robots.
The ability of legged systems to traverse highly-constrained environments depends by and large on the performance of their motion and balance controllers. This paper presents a controller that excels in a scenario that most state-of-the-art balance c
ontrollers have not yet addressed: line walking, or walking on nearly null support regions. Our approach uses a low-dimensional virtual model (2-DoF) to generate balancing actions through a previously derived four-term balance controller and transforms them to the robot through a derived kinematic mapping. The capabilities of this controller are tested in simulation, where we show the 90kg quadruped robot HyQ crossing a bridge of only 6 cm width (compared to its 4 cm diameter spherical foot), by balancing on two feet at any time while moving along a line. Lastly, we present our preliminary experimental results showing HyQ balancing on two legs while being disturbed.
