Abstract
Quadruped robots provide better stability and speed in comparison to other legged robots. However, its joint actuator or sensor failure severely affects locomotion. Strategies for actuator and sensor fault accommodation in a compliant legged quadruped are presented here. A pair of orthogonally mounted moving appendages mechanism is proposed here to accommodate locked joint failure. These appendages as rack mounted inertias perform controlled motion during actuator failure. A strategy for sensor fault accommodation is also presented. A three-dimensional multi-body dynamics model of quadruped robot and its fault accommodation strategies are developed using bond graph modeling approach. The control performance is validated both through simulations and experiments.
