Description

Diagonal gait compliance control method of four-footed robot based on drop foot point adjustment
Technical Field
The invention relates to an electrically-driven quadruped robot, in particular to a method for controlling diagonal gait compliance of the quadruped robot based on foot drop point adjustment.
Background
Robotics is a cross discipline related to the disciplines of mechanics, electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and the like. The robot can help people to do work in some aspects of danger, machine repetition and the like. The research robot technology has high application value and social value.
Compared with a wheeled and tracked robot, the legged robot can flexibly walk in uneven and unstructured environments, and has better terrain adaptability and flexible motion performance. Based on flexible movement capability, the foot type robot can participate in work tasks of complex working conditions, such as exploration of field unknown environment load instruments, transportation of dangerous environment rescue substances after disasters (such as earthquakes, fires and the like), long-time field marching transportation, nuclear power station operation (such as nuclear leakage) and the like to finish application of special working conditions.
The foot robots are divided according to the number of feet, and generally comprise two-foot, four-foot, six-foot and other foot robots. Compared with a biped robot, the quadruped robot has more flexible movement capability; compared with a hexapod robot, the quadruped robot is simpler in mechanical structure, control algorithm and the like. In conclusion, the four-footed robot can realize flexible movement capability on the basis of a simpler mechanical structure and a control algorithm.
The gait of the quadruped robot means that the foot end trajectory planning is performed in a time sequence so that the quadruped robot can move rhythmically. The movement of the quadruped robot is divided into a support phase and a swing phase, and the gait can be approximately Crawl (Crawl) gait, contralateral (Pace) gait, diagonal sprint (Trot) gait, jump (Bound) gait, sprint (Gallop) gait and the like according to the phase difference between each leg.
The virtual model control is that the spring damping model is arranged on the mass center, the foot end and the like and is connected with an external action point, so that the virtual force to the quadruped robot is generated. The virtual force is converted into joint torque through a certain mapping relation, and then the control of the quadruped robot is achieved.
The compliance control is divided into passive compliance control and active compliance control. The passive compliance control is that a body (such as a foot end) of the quadruped robot is provided with a spring and the like for damping and buffering, so that external impact is reduced and compliance performance is realized. The active compliance control is to realize compliance performance through a control algorithm. Compared with passive compliance control, active compliance control has the advantages of simple mechanical structure, high control flexibility and the like.
At present, an electrically-driven four-footed robot based on drop foot point adjustment mainly adopts a static planning method in the aspect of foot end trajectory planning, and cannot adapt to the terrain well; in the aspect of diagonal sprint gait planning, the existing research on starting posture and walking transition is deficient, and the stability of the quadruped robot during starting is not facilitated; in the aspect of diagonal running gait state transition, only the state transition between two pairs of virtual legs exists, but the situation that one leg of one pair of virtual legs lands first and the other leg lands later may occur actually; in the aspect of generating and converting virtual force and virtual moment, the general method is to generate the virtual force and virtual moment with six degrees of freedom at the position of a mass center and then convert the virtual force and virtual moment into each joint through a space mapping matrix and a Jacobian matrix, and the calculation complexity is high and the algorithm is complex.

And (3) swinging the legs at the back, swinging the pair of virtual legs of the right front leg and the left rear leg at first, and switching the state to the state 2. Next, if the right front leg and the left rear leg touch the ground simultaneously, the state is switched to the state 4; if the right front leg is touching the ground before the left rear leg, the state switches to state 4.1, at which time the right front leg is touching the groundThe legs stop swinging, the left rear leg is waited to touch the ground, and then the state is switched to a state 4; if the left rear leg touches the ground before the right front leg, the state switches to state 4.2, at which time the left rear leg stops swinging, waiting for the right front leg to touch the ground, and then the state switches to state 4.
