Abstract
This paper proposes an adaptive trajectory generation strategy of using online ZMP information with an impedance control method. Since the robot experiences various disturbances during walking, the walking mechanism should have the robustness against those disturbances, and it requires an online adaptation ability. If sensed ZMP goes out of the preset ZMP boundary, the online trajectory planner generates the trajectory of the base link: in the vertical direction to compensate the required moment for recovering stability. The ZMP equation and sensed ZMP information are used in this trajectory generation strategy. In this paper, an impedance controller with impedance modulation is used to control biped robots for stable walking. Computer simulation with a 3-DOF environment model for which a combination of a nonlinear and linear compliant contact models is used shows that the proposed controller performs well. Moreover, the biped robot with the proposed trajectory generator can walk even when it is pushed with a certain amount of force.
