Abstract
SUMMARYThis paper proposes a novel shuffle turning method for a humanoid robot that controls the load distribution of the soles of the robot's feet. Turning motions of a humanoid robot are conventionally performed through a repeated foot stepping motion. However, this motion is inefficient and time-consuming. In our method, the feet are slid along the floor without a stepping movement. In order to reduce the friction with the floor and to achieve the correct shuffle turning motion, a non-uniform load distribution of the soles is controlled. Experiments using a humanoid robot were conducted on two floors with differing friction amounts, and the validity of the proposed method was verified.
