Abstract

This paper presents a complete planner and controller scheme to achieve balance and walking for a biped robot, which does not need to distinguish the robot’s dynamic model parameters. The high-level planner utilizes model predictive control to optimize both the foothold location and step duration based on the Divergent Component of Motion (DCM) model to enhance the robustness of generated gaits. For low-level control, we use quadratic programming (QP) to optimize the contact force distribution under the contact constraints to achieve the virtual wrench exerted on the base of the robot. Then, the joint torques sent to the robot are derived from three parts: first, the torques mapped from the contact force; second, the swing leg tracking; and third, the stance foot stabilization. The simulation and experiment on BRUCE, a miniature bipedal robot from Westwood Robotics (Los Angeles, CA, USA), testify to the performance of the control scheme, including push recovery, Center of Mass (CoM) tracking, and omnidirectional walking.
