Untethered quadrupedal hopping and bounding on a trampoline

Boxing WANG, Chunlin ZHOU, Ziheng DUAN, Qichao ZHU, Jun WU, Rong XIONG

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2020, Volume 15, Issue 2,   Pages 181-192 doi: 10.1007/s11465-019-0559-5

Abstract: For quadruped robots with springy legs, a successful jump usually requires both suitable elastic parts and well-designed control algorithms. However, these two problems are mutually restricted and hard to solve at the same time. In this study, we attempt to solve the problem of controller design with the help of a robot without any elastic mounted parts, in which the untethered robot is made to jump on a trampoline. The differences between jumping on hard surfaces with springy legs and jumping on springy surfaces with rigid legs are briefly discussed. An intuitive control law is proposed to balance foot contact forces; in this manner, excessive pitch oscillation during hopping or bounding can be avoided. Hopping height is controlled by tuning the time delay of the leg stretch. Together with other motion generators based on kinematic law, the robot can perform translational and rotational movements while hopping or bounding on the trampoline. Experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control framework.

Abstract: The compensation of actuator delay is therefore critical to achieve stable and reliable experimentaldelay and achieve good actuator control for real-time tests.However, these adaptive methods all require time duration for actuator delay adaptation.Experiments show that a good actuator delay estimate can help optimize the performance of the adaptiveThe rate of adaptation also requires that a good actuator delay estimate be acquired especially for the
