Footstep Planning for Autonomous Walking Over Rough Terrain
Robert J. Griffin, Georg Wiedebach, Stephen McCrory +3
To increase the speed of operation and reduce operator burden, humanoid robots must be able to function autonomously, even in complex, cluttered environments. For this to be possib…
Straight-Leg Walking Through Underconstrained Whole-Body Control
Robert J. Griffin, Georg Wiedebach, Sylvain Bertrand +2
We present an approach for achieving a natural, efficient gait on bipedal robots using straightened legs and toe-off. Our algorithm avoids complex height planning by allowing a who…
Capture Point Trajectories for Reduced Knee Bend using Step Time Optimization
Robert J. Griffin, Sylvain Bertrand, Georg Wiedebach +2
Traditional force-controlled bipedal walking utilizes highly bent knees, resulting in high torques as well as inefficient, and unnatural motions. Even with advanced planning of cen…
Walking Stabilization Using Step Timing and Location Adjustment on the Humanoid Robot, Atlas
Robert J. Griffin, Georg Wiedebach, Sylvain Bertrand +2
While humans are highly capable of recovering from external disturbances and uncertainties that result in large tracking errors, humanoid robots have yet to reliably mimic this lev…
Walking on Partial Footholds Including Line Contacts with the Humanoid Robot Atlas
Georg Wiedebach, Sylvain Bertrand, Tingfan Wu +5
We present a method for humanoid robot walking on partial footholds such as small stepping stones and rocks with sharp surfaces. Our algorithm does not rely on prior knowledge of t…
