Abstract

In this research, a biological study is performed on the control of a quadruped walking robot. With a biomimetic observation of the gravity load receptor and stimulus-reaction mechanism of quadrupeds' locomotion and with the study of the stances on walking and energy efficiency, a new control method for a quadruped walking robot is derived. In particular, introduction of a new rhythmic pattern generator relieves the heavy computational burden because it does not need large computation on kinematics. The proposed controller, though it is simple, provides a useful framework for controlling a quadruped walking robot. In this paper, evaluation of the proposed method is done via a dynamic simulation. Then, it is validated by implementing in a quadruped walking robot, called AiDIN(Artificia1 Digitigrade for Natural Environment).
