Abstract
An Active Disturbance Rejection Control based on Generalized Proportional Integral observer (ADRC with GPI observer) was developed to control the gait of a bipedal robot with five degrees of freedom. The bipedal robot used is a passive point feet which produces an underactuated dynamic walking. A virtual holonomic constraint is imposed to generate online smooth trajectories which were used as references of the control system. The proposed control strategy is tested through numerical simulation on a task of forward walking with the robot exposed to external disturbances. The performance of ADRC with GPI observer strategy is compared with a feedback linearization with proportional-derivative control. A stability test consisting on analyzing the existence of limit cycles using the Poincare's method revealed that asymptotically stable walking was achieved. The proposed control strategy effectively rejects the external disturbances and keeps the robot in a stable dynamic walking.
