Trends of new robotics platform, designing Humanoid Robot Rh-1
CARS & FOF 07 .
This work deals with the new trends of robotics
platforms, it is the biped robots. The objective of this work is to
develop a humanoid robot and study the walking locomotion in
order to integrate it in unstructured terrain which could
cooperate with a human. The main contribution of this work is
to propose a new design methods, control architecture and
walking pattern generation for a biped robot. Design methods
were based in anthropomorphic human proportions about 1.20
and defined walking motion of the humanoid robot. The control
architecture provides the following of walking patterns in order
to get stable walking, so it is based on two layers: Joint control,
Posture control, which allows to humanoid stable walking. The
walking pattern generation is the reference of the control
system and allows decide the robot motion on each time, it is
composed by several layers: Global motion, local motion,
trajectory generation, kinematics and dynamics model. In order
to validate the proposed walking and control algorithms on the
humanoid robot Rh-1, developed in the Robotics lab of the
University Carlos III of Madrid, experimental results will be
shown and discussed.
