- the time constant ⁇ is sequentially variably set so as to decrease to the initial value force 0 by the scheduled landing time of the foot 22 (which corresponds to the specified time). .
- a trajectory of the foot 22 in the X-axis direction is generated so that the planned landing position is reached at the scheduled landing time.
- the desired foot position trajectory in the Z-axis direction (vertical direction) is generated as follows, for example.
- the position of the foot 22 in the Z-axis direction when the height (vertical position) of the foot 22 is maximized according to the next scheduled landing position and the scheduled landing time of the foot 22 (hereinafter, The highest point position) and the time to reach the highest point position are determined.
- the height of the step input to the finite time settling filter is determined according to the highest point position (which corresponds to the specified value), and the time constant is initialized and then determined.
- the step input is given to the finite time settling filter, and the foot position trajectory in the Z-axis direction up to the highest point position is sequentially generated.
- the time constant ⁇ is sequentially variably set so that the initial value force also decreases to 0 by the time of arrival at the highest point position (corresponding to the specified time). Furthermore, when generation of the trajectory in the axial direction up to the highest point position is completed, the time constant is initialized and the step input with the opposite polarity to the previous step input (more specifically, the highest point position force The amount of change in the vertical axis direction to the planned position (this is the step input with the reverse polarity corresponding to the specified value) is input to the finite time settling filter, and the maximum point position force is also applied to the planned landing position. The trajectory of the foot position in the heel axis direction is generated sequentially. At this time, the time constant ⁇ is set to be variable so that the initial force also decreases to 0 by the scheduled landing time of the foot 22.
- the time constant ⁇ is variable so that it continuously decreases from the time when the trajectory is generated to the scheduled landing time of the foot 22 to the initial force of 0.
- the foot position trajectory in the heel axis direction may be generated by switching the polarity of the step input to the reverse polarity at the time of arrival at or near the highest point position. In this case, the foot 22 cannot reach the desired highest point position with high accuracy, but can reach the planned landing position at the planned landing time without any problem.
- the foot posture trajectory can also be generated using a finite time settling filter in the same manner as the foot position trajectory described above.
- the components whose angle change of the posture is monotonic (monotonic increase or monotonic decrease)
- the foot posture trajectory may be generated in the same manner as the foot position trajectory in the X-axis direction described above.
- a foot posture trajectory may be generated in the same manner as the generation of the foot position trajectory in the Z-axis direction described above.
- a posture posture trajectory in the Z-axis direction is generated so as to change as shown in Figs. 6 and 8 from the side of the left foot 22L in the running gait of Fig. 5.
- the soles of the floor at the time of getting out of bed are tilted continuously so that the tip is lowered from a state where the tip (toe) is higher than the rear end (heel) relative to the floor.
- the inclination state of the foot 22L changes so that the force at the time of leaving the bed is almost parallel to the floor immediately before the transition to the next landing phase.
- the angle ⁇ is defined as negative (one) when the sole rises forward relative to the floor, and positive (+) when the sole falls forward.
- the angle ⁇ may be defined as a function ⁇ (d) of the distance d.
- the angle ⁇ force ⁇ may be controlled in the middle of the air phase, and the angle ⁇ may be maintained at 0 until the transition time to the landing phase.
- the desired foot position / posture trajectory generated by the finite time settling filter as described above is the target position / posture trajectory of each foot 22 in the later-described support leg coordinate system fixed to the floor surface. .
- the position of each foot 22 is gradually accelerated from its initial ground contact state (initial time state of the target gait) toward the planned landing position. While starting to move.
- the target foot position / posture trajectory then gradually decelerates the change speed of the saddle position to 0 or almost 0 by the scheduled landing time, reaches the planned landing position and stops at the planned landing time. To be generated. For this reason,
- the ground speed at the moment of landing of each foot 22 (the changing speed of the position of each foot 22 in the support leg coordinate system fixed to the floor) becomes zero or almost zero. Therefore, even if the landing gait is in a state where all the legs 2 and 2 are present in the air at the same time (the state in the air), the landing impact is reduced.
- the vertical velocity of the aerial latter half force upper body 24 is downward due to the gravity acting on the robot 1, and remains downward even when landing. Therefore, as described above, the desired foot position posture trajectory is generated so that the ground speed at the moment of landing of each foot 22 is 0 or almost 0, and the dynamic equilibrium condition is satisfied as described later.
- the target position / posture trajectory of the body 24 is generated, immediately before landing, the relative speed of the foot 22 on the free leg side with respect to the upper body 24 becomes upward. That is, at the moment of landing of the running gait, the target gait of mouth bot 1 is a gait that makes landing while retracting the leg 22 on the free leg side to the upper body 24 side.
- the robot 1 sees from the upper body 24 so that the ground speed of the foot 22 on the free leg side becomes 0 or almost 0 at the moment of landing. Land with the foot 22 raised. This reduces the landing impact and prevents the landing impact from becoming excessive.
- the finite time settling filter is a unit filter having three or more stages (for example, three stages) connected in series, so that the speed of each foot 22 (foot)
- Each foot 22 that stops only when the speed of change of the flat position is 0 or almost zero, and its acceleration also becomes 0 or almost 0 at the scheduled landing time, and stops.
- the ground force velocity at the moment of landing is also zero or almost zero. Therefore, the landing impact is further reduced. In particular, even if the actual landing time of the mouth bot 1 deviates from the target landing time force, the impact does not increase so much.
- the number of stages of the unit filter of the finite time settling filter may be two, but in this case, the planned landing time
- the acceleration of each foot 22 is generally not zero.
- the foot posture is maintained constant for a while after each foot 22 has landed on almost the entire bottom surface at the scheduled landing time. Therefore, the time at which the substantially entire bottom surface of the foot 22 contacts the floor is set as the designated time, and the foot posture trajectory is generated by the finite time settling filter.
- the speed of change of the foot position at the estimated landing time when the foot position trajectory is generated using the finite time settling filter is 0 or almost 0 (the time of the foot position).
- a function such as a polynomial set so that the change acceleration of the foot position (time differential value of the change speed) at the scheduled landing time is 0 or almost 0 so that the derivative value becomes 0).
- the desired floor reaction force vertical component trajectory is set as shown in FIG. 9, for example.
- the shape of the desired floor reaction force vertical component trajectory in the running gait (specifically, the shape in the single leg support period) is defined as a trapezoid (a shape convex to the increase side of the floor reaction force vertical component).
- the gait parameters are determined using the height of the trapezoid and the time of the break point as the gait parameters that define the desired floor reaction force vertical component trajectory.
- the desired floor reaction force vertical component is constantly set to zero.
- the target floor reaction force vertical component trajectory should be set to be substantially continuous (so that the value does not become discontinuous).
- substantially continuous means that the jump of the value that inevitably occurs when digitally representing an analog continuous trajectory (a true continuous trajectory) in a discrete time system is It is not something that loses continuity.
- the target ZMP trajectory is set as follows. In the running gait shown in Fig. 5, as described above, the vehicle lands on almost the entire bottom surface of the supporting leg side foot 22, then kicks with the toes of the supporting leg side foot 22 and jumps into the air. Land on almost the entire bottom surface of the side foot 22. Therefore, the target ZMP trajectory during the single leg support period is shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 10, with the intermediate position between the heel and toes of the support leg side foot 22 as the initial position, and then the support leg side foot 22 It is set to remain constant during the period when almost the entire bottom surface is in contact with the ground, and then moved to the toes of the supporting leg side foot 22 before leaving the floor.
- the top diagram of Figure 10 shows the X axis
- the target ZMP trajectory in the direction front-rear direction
- the lower diagram in Fig. 10 shows the target ZMP trajectory in the Y-axis direction (left-right direction). Note that the target ZMP trajectory in the Y-axis direction during the one-leg support period is set to the same position as the center position of the ankle joint of the support leg side leg 2 in the Y-axis direction, as shown in the lower diagram of FIG.

- the target ZMP may be set discontinuously.
- the target ZMP is set so that the target ZMP position force at the time of getting out of bed (at the end of the one-leg support period) does not move, and at the end of the aerial period, it is discontinuous at the target ZMP position at the time of landing (stepped The target ZMP trajectory may be set so as to move to).
- the target ZMP trajectory may be set so as to move to.
- the X-axis direction position of the target ZMP trajectory in the aerial phase is from the toe of the supporting leg side foot 22 until the landing of the next free leg side leg 2. It was made to move continuously to the middle position of the heel and toes of the foot 22 on the free leg side.
- the Y-axis position of the target ZMP trajectory in the mid-air period is the center of the ankle joint of the supporting leg side leg 2 until the landing of the next leg leg 2 Y-axis direction position force It was made to move continuously to the Y-axis direction position of the center of the ankle joint of the free leg side leg 2.
- the target ZMP trajectory was made continuous (substantially continuous) throughout the gait. Then, as will be described later, the target gait is generated so that the resultant momentum (excluding the vertical component) of gravity and inertial force around the target ZMP becomes zero (more specifically, the target body position / posture trajectory). Adjusted).
- the position and time of the break point of the target ZMP trajectory as shown in FIG. 10 are set as ZMP trajectory parameters (parameters that define the target ZMP trajectory).
- the meaning of “substantially continuous” in the ZMP trajectory described above is that of the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory. Same as the case.
- the ZMP trajectory parameters are determined so that the stability margin is high and no sudden change occurs.
- a state in which the target ZMP exists near the center of the smallest convex polygon (so-called support polygon) including the contact surface of the robot 1 is said to have a high stability margin (for details, refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-86081). reference).

- the desired gait for one step is generated in turn in units of the desired gait at). Therefore, in the running gait shown in FIG. 5 generated in the present embodiment, the target gait is from the start of the one-leg support period to the end of the subsequent air period (at the start of the next one-leg support period).
- the desired gaits up to are generated in order.
- the new target gait to be generated is called “current gait”, the next target gait is “next gait”, and the next target gait is “next gait”. Call it like this.
- the target gait generated immediately before the “current time gait” is referred to as the “previous gait”.
- the gait generator 100 When the gait generator 100 newly generates the current time's gait, the gait generator 100 includes the planned landing position / posture of the free leg side foot 22 up to two steps ahead of the robot 1, The required value (request) of the scheduled landing time is input as a request parameter for the gait (or the gait generator 100 reads the request parameter from the storage device). The gait generator 100 uses these required parameters to calculate the target body position / posture trajectory, target foot position / posture trajectory, target ZMP trajectory, target floor reaction force vertical component trajectory, target arm posture trajectory, etc. Generate. At this time, some of the gait parameters that define these trajectories are appropriately modified to ensure the continuity of walking.
- FIG. 11 is a flowchart (structure flowchart) showing gait generation processing executed by the gait generator 100.
- This process is performed when the gait generator 100 is activated. Next, the process proceeds to SO 14 via S012, and the gait generator 100 waits for a timer interrupt for each control cycle (the calculation processing cycle in the flowchart of FIG. 11). The control period is ⁇ t.
- the process proceeds to S016, where it is determined whether or not the force is a gait change point.
- the process proceeds to S018, and when it is not the change point, the process proceeds to S030.

That is, in this embodiment, the required parameters given to the gait generator 100 from the joystick 44 and the like are the predicted landing position posture of the free leg side foot 22 up to two steps ahead (the foot 22 has landed and The foot position and posture in a state where the floor is rotated without sliding so that the bottom is almost entirely in contact with the floor surface), and the required value for the expected landing time.
- the requested values for the gait correspond to the current time's gait and the next time's gait, respectively, and are given to the gait generator 100 before the start of generation of the current time's gait (the gait change in S016).

- the “normal turning gait” may be abbreviated as “normal gait”.
- the normal turning gait is provisional in order for the gait generator 100 to determine the motion state of the robot 1, such as the divergent component at the end of the current gait, the body vertical position velocity, the body posture angle, and the angular velocity.
- the gait generator 100 does not output the gait generator 100 as it is.
- divergence means that the position of the upper body 24 of the bipedal mobile robot 1 shifts to a position far from the positions of both feet 22 and 22.
- the value of the divergent component is the position of the upper body 24 of the biped mobile robot 1 at the positions of both feet 22 and 22 (more specifically, the global coordinate system set on the ground of the supporting leg side foot 22 ( It is a numerical value that indicates how far away from the origin of the support leg coordinate system).

- the horizontal component of the floor reaction force has a limit that cannot generate any force friction generated by the friction between the floor and the foot 22. Therefore, the floor reaction force horizontal component of the target gait must always be within the friction limit in order to prevent slipping when the actual robot 1 moves according to the generated target gait. Therefore, in order to satisfy this condition, a floor reaction force horizontal component allowable range is set, and the target gait is set so that the floor reaction force horizontal component of the target gait is within this allowable range as described later. It was decided to generate.

- the reference body posture trajectory of the current time's gait is continuously connected to the reference body posture trajectory of the normal gait (the reference body posture angle and angular velocity at the end of the current time's gait are on the basis of the initial normal gait, respectively.
- the above parameters are set to match the body posture angle and angular velocity.
- the standard body posture is a normal vertical posture even if the current time's gait and normal gait are different or misaligned.
- the arm posture trajectory parameters of the current time gait are determined in the same manner as the first turning gait and the second turning gait of the normal gait. However, the above parameters are set so that the arm posture trajectory of the current time's gait is continuously connected to the arm posture trajectory of the normal gait.
- the arm posture trajectory parameters determined here are the changes in the angular momentum of both arms around the vertical axis (or upper trunk axis), as in the determination of the normal gait parameters (S104 in Fig. 12). It is a motion parameter other than that related to this, and it is a parameter that defines the trajectory of the center of gravity of both arms.

Similar to the second turning gait, the stability margin is high and it is set as shown in Fig. 10 so that there is no sudden change. However, the above parameters are set so that the ZMP trajectory of the current time's gait is continuously connected to the ZMP trajectory of the normal gait. In other words, the ZMP trajectory parameters are determined so that the ZMP position at the end of the current time's gait matches the ZMP position at the beginning of the normal gait.
- the method for setting the time and position of the break point of the ZMP track during the single leg support period may be the same as the method for setting the ZMP track parameter for the normal gait described above. Then, the ZMP trajectory parameters should be set so that the target ZMP trajectory in the air period changes linearly and continuously from the start of the air period to the ZMP position at the beginning of the normal gait.
- the ZMP trajectory parameters of the current time's gait determined in S610 are only provisionally determined, and are corrected as described later. Therefore, the ZMP trajectory of the current time gait set as described above will be referred to as the temporary target ZMP trajectory of the current time gait.
- the process then proceeds to S028, where the gait parameter (ZMP trajectory parameter of the current time's gait) Meter) is modified.
- the ZMP trajectory parameters are modified so that the body position / posture trajectory is made continuous or close to the normal gait.
- the process proceeds to S032, where the arm motion for canceling the spin force (the floor reaction force moment vertical component generated around the target ZMP by movement other than the arm of robot 1 is made substantially zero) is determined.
- the floor reaction force moment vertical component trajectory in the target ZMP when the arm is not shaken (strictly speaking, when the gait is generated without shaking the arm, the resultant force of the robot's gravity and inertial force is The sign of each instantaneous value of the moment vertical component trajectory acting on the target ZMP is obtained).
- the instantaneous value is obtained from the vertical component of the floor reaction force moment around the target ZMP (instantaneous value) that balances the instantaneous value of the movement (including arm swing motion). Then, by dividing this by the equivalent moment of inertia of the arm swing motion, the angular acceleration of the arm swing motion necessary for canceling the spin force is obtained. In addition, if the swing of the arm is too large, it can be divided by a value larger than the equivalent moment of inertia.
- this angular acceleration is second-order integrated, and the angle obtained by passing this through a low-cut filter to prevent the integral value from becoming excessive is taken as the arm swinging operation angle.
- the left and right arms are swung in the reverse direction so that the center of gravity position of both arms is not changed. It is also possible to generate an arm swing motion for canceling the spinner even in a normal gait and determine the arm swing motion in this time's gait so as to connect to this.

- the composite compliance operation determination unit 104 corrects the target floor reaction force based on the input value. Specifically, the target floor reaction force is corrected so that the compensated total floor reaction force moment acts around the target total floor reaction force center point (target ZMP).
- the composite compliance action determining unit 104 adjusts the corrected target floor reaction force with the mechanism deformation compensation to match the corrected target floor reaction force with the actual robot state and the floor reaction force for which the force such as the sensor detection value is calculated. Determine the flat position (orbit). However, since it is virtually impossible to match all the states to the target, a trade-off relationship is given between them so that they can be compromised. In other words, the control deviation for each target is given a weight, and control is performed so that the weighted average of the control deviation (or the square of the control deviation) is minimized. As a result, the actual foot position / posture and the total floor reaction force are controlled to substantially follow the target foot position / posture and the target total floor reaction force.
- the gist of the present invention resides in gait generation of the robot 1 in the gait generator 100, and the configuration and operation of the composite compliance operation determination unit 104 and the like described above are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei. Since it is described in detail in Gazette 10-277969, etc. Stop Ming more than that.

- the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory is determined so as to satisfy as much as possible the features such as phase and amplitude of the body vertical position trajectory using the body height determination method described in the 86080 publication.
- the main part of the algorithm for generating gaits can be shared between running and walking, and it is also possible to shift from walking to running or from running to walking.
- the body horizontal position trajectory assumes that the floor reaction force vertical component coincides with the robot 1's own weight, and that the body vertical position force is a constant value determined by force. Is determined to be the horizontal component force of the floor reaction force moment. Further, the body posture trajectory at this time may be a trajectory having a constant posture (such as a vertical posture).
- the foot trajectory was determined using the body height determination method previously proposed by the applicant of the present application (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-86080, more specifically, the method of Fig. 6 of the same publication).
- the body vertical position trajectory is calculated based on the foot trajectory determined by the parameters, the body horizontal position trajectory determined as described above, and the body posture trajectory, and this is used as the reference body vertical position trajectory.

- Features such as trajectory amplitude and phase are calculated (extracted).
- the reference body vertical The amplitude of the position trajectory (difference between the minimum value and the maximum value) is calculated as the feature amount.
- the body vertical position trajectory generated based on the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory parameters can satisfy the feature amount as much as possible (the reference body vertical position trajectory).
- the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory parameters (time at the break point and floor reaction force vertical component value) are determined so that the patterns are as similar as possible. More specifically, in the case of a walking gait, the first turning gait and the second turning gait of the normal gait and the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory of the current time gait are, for example, polygonal lines as shown in FIG.
- the trapezoidal shape is convex (upward) on the floor reaction force vertical component increase side in the both-leg support period, and is convex (downward convex) on the floor reaction force vertical component decrease side in the one-leg support period.
- this floor reaction force vertical component trajectory is obtained by integrating the floor 1 from the beginning of the gait (start time of the both-leg support period) to the end (end time of the one-leg support period).
- the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory parameters for example, the height of two trapezoids of the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory, so that the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the body vertical position trajectory corresponding to CI and C2 are determined (in this example, the breakpoint time of the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory is determined according to the required parameters related to the gait cycle).
- the parameter of the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory of the normal gait is determined so as to satisfy the following conditions as described above.
- the average value in the entire normal gait period of the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory (the period of both the first and second turning gaits) is matched with the robot's own weight. That is, the average value of the vertical component of the floor reaction force is set to the same magnitude as the gravity acting on the robot and in the opposite direction.
- the floor reaction force vertical component trajectory parameters of the current time's gait are determined so that the upper body (overall center of gravity) vertical position trajectory is continuously connected to or approaches the normal gait as described above.
- the desired floor reaction force vertical component trajectory in the walking gait (parameter that defines this) is determined.
- the gait generation process other than the determination process of the desired floor reaction force vertical component trajectory described above is the same as that in the embodiment related to the traveling gait described above.

- the meter is set (refer to S600 ). This point will be explained below.
- the inclination angle of the left foot 22L with respect to the floor measured based on the output of the rotary encoder 33 is such that the rear end (buttock) of the left foot 22L is more floor than the tip (toe).
- the rotation of the left foot 22L with respect to the left leg 2L is controlled so as to increase toward the positive (+) side, which is farther away.
- the rear end part (heel part) with respect to the floor surface is higher than the front end part (toe part) from the positive side (+) side,
- the left foot against the left leg 2L so that it gradually approaches 0 after the tip end (toe) changes to the negative (-) side higher than the rear end (buttock) relative to the floor.
- the rotation of the flat 22L is controlled.
- the inclination angle of the floor relative to the reference plane such as the basic horizontal plane and horizontal plane of the robot 1 is determined by the inclination angle of the upper body 24 relative to the horizontal plane according to the output of the inclination sensor 36 when one or more legs 2 are landing, It can be measured by analyzing the image of the floor imaged by the camera 92 or the like.
