DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references can mean “at least one” embodiment.


The present disclosure provides a legged robot. For simplicity of description, unless otherwise specified, the robots mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure are biped robots.



FIG. 1 shows a biped robot walking on a support surface (e.g., ground, floor surface, etc.) and stepping on an obstacle. The embodiments of the present disclosure use foot pose control as an effective means to allow the robot to walk stably on an uneven terrain. Flexible control of ankle joints can be achieved by using zero moment point (ZMP) tracking control such that the robot can adapt to changes in the terrain. In order not to affect the walking stability of the robot in the horizontal direction, and have a satisfactory response speed, capture point error is introduced to serve as a basis for calculating desired torques of feet of the robot. Specifically, the capture point error is calculated in real time through robot state estimation. According to a planned ZMP position, the support force distribution of the left and right feet can be determined, and the result of the support torque distribution of the left and right feet can then be calculated. Finally, the poses of the feet of the robot can be adjusted in real time through torque tracking, so as to realize the rapid adaptation of the feet to an uneven terrain.



FIG. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of the biped robot 1 according to one embodiment. The robot 1 may include a processor 101, a storage 102, and one or more executable computer programs 103 that are stored in the storage 102. The processor 101 is electrically connected to the storage 102, and performs corresponding operations by executing the executable computer programs 103 stored in the storage 102. When the processor 101 executes the computer programs 103, the steps in the embodiments of the method for controlling the robot 1, such as steps S201 through S205 in FIG. 3 are implemented.


The processor 101 may be a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device, a discrete gate, a transistor logic device, or a discrete hardware component. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor or the like.


The storage 102 may be an internal storage unit of the robot 1, such as a hard disk or a memory. The storage 102 may also be an external storage device of the robot 1, such as a plug-in hard disk, a smart memory card (SMC), and a secure digital (SD) card, or any suitable flash cards. Furthermore, the storage 102 may also include both an internal storage unit and an external storage device. The storage 102 is used to store computer programs, other programs, and data required by the robot. The storage 102 can also be used to temporarily store data that have been output or is about to be output.


Exemplarily, the one or more computer programs 103 may be divided into one or more modules/units, and the one or more modules/units are stored in the storage 102 and executable by the processor 101. The one or more modules/units may be a series of computer program instruction segments capable of performing specific functions, and the instruction segments are used to describe the execution process of the one or more computer programs 103 in the robot 1. For example, the one or more computer programs 112 may be divided into a CP error calculation module 501, a desired support force calculation module 502, a desired torque calculation module 503, a desired pose calculation module 504, and a walking control module 505 as shown in FIG. 6.



FIG. 3 shows an exemplary flowchart of robot control method according to one embodiment. The method can be implemented to control the robot 1 shown in FIG. 1. In one embodiment, the method may include steps S201 to S205.


Step S201: Determine a planned capture point (CP) and a measured CP of the robot, and calculate a CP error of the robot according to the planned CP and the measured CP.


Generally, in robot planning and control, model simplification is usually used to map complex multi-rigid body systems. The most classic simplified model is the Linear inverted Pendulum Model (LIPM) shown in FIG. 4. Taking the sagittal plane of the robot as an example, the kinetic equation of LIPM in the x-axis direction (that is, the travelling direction of the robot) is as follows: {umlaut over (x)}c2(xc−px), where {umlaut over (x)}c represents speed of center of mass (CoM) of the robot, xc represents position of CoM of the robot, px represents position of the ZMP of the robot, ω represents the natural frequency of LIPM and is equal to √{square root over (g/Zc)}, g represents the acceleration due to gravity, Zc represents the height of the CoM of the robot.


The CP is an important concept in LIPM, and its physical meaning is a support point where the inverted pendulum is completely stationary. In other words, if the robot steps on the CP during walking, the center of mass of the robot can be completely stationary.


The CP is denoted by ξx, and can be calculated according to the following equation:








ξ
x

=


x
c

+



x
.

c

,




where {dot over (x)}c represents speed of the CoM of the robot.


In the embodiment, the position and speed of the center of mass of the robot can be planned in advance using any proper conventional planning method according to actual needs. Here, the position and speed of the center of mass of the robot obtained by the planning are referred to as the center-of-mass planning position and the center-of-mass planning speed, respectively. After the center-of-mass planning position and center-of-mass planning speed are obtained in the planning, the CP (i.e., planned CP) can be calculated according to the following equation:








ξ
plan_x

=


x
plan

+



x
.

plan

ω



,




where xplan represents the center-of-mass planning position and {dot over (x)}plan represents the center-of-mass planning speed.


The analysis process above in relation to the sagittal plane can also apply to the coronal plane of the robot. The planned CP (denoted by ξplan_y) and measured CP (denoted by ξmeasure_y) in the y-axis direction can be calculated in a manner similar to the process above. Here, the positive direction of the y-axis points away from the left side of the robot. That is, the positive direction of the y-axis is the direction that the robot faces after the robot has made a 90-degree turn to the left of the robot. The first and second components of the planned CP are denoted by ξplan_x and ξplan_y, and the first and second components of the measured CP are denoted by ξmeasure_x and ξmeasure_y.


After the planned CP and the measured CP are determined, the CP error can be calculated according to the following equations: CPerror_xplan_x−ξmeasure_x and CPerror_yplan_y−ξmeasure_y, where CPerror_x represents the first component (i.e., the component in x-axis) of the CP error, and CPerror_y represents the second component (i.e., the component in y-axis) of the CP error.


Step S202: Obtain a position of a left foot of the robot, a position of a right foot of the robot, and a planned zero moment point (ZMP) of the robot, and calculate a desired support force of the left foot and a desired support force of the right foot according to the planned ZMP, the position of the left foot and the position of the right foot.


During the robot's gait generation process, the robot's ZMP will be planned to obtain the planned ZMP using any proper conventional planning method according to actual needs. In the coronal plane (y-axis direction), the support force distribution coefficient can be calculated according to planned ZMP, the position of the left foot and the position of the right foot using the following equation:








K

where pyplan represents the planned ZMP, plf represents the position of the left foot, and prf represents the position of the right foot. It should be noted that since the desired ZMP may be located outside of the positions of the left and right feet, Kf can be limited during actual use to ensure 0≤Kf≤1.


Then, the desired support force of the left foot and the desired support force of the right foot can be calculated according to the supporting force distribution coefficient and the mass of the robot using the following equations: frd=KfMg and ftd=(1−Kf)Mg, where M represents the mass of the robot, g represents acceleration due to gravity, ftd represents the desired support force of the left foot, and frd represents the desired support force of the right foot. According to the equations above, the desired support force of the left or right foot is proportional to the distance between the ZMP and the eft or right foot. That is, the closer one of the two feet to the ZMP is, the greater the desired support force of the one of the two feet is.


Step S203: Calculate a desired torque of the left foot and a desired torque of the right foot according to the capture point error, the desired support force of the left foot, and desired support force of the right foot.


In one embodiment, ankle joint torque control can be performed to eliminate the CP error as much as possible, that is, to establish a torque controller according to the following equation: T=k*f*CPerror, where k represents a preset torque controller parameter which can be set according to actual needs, T represents the desired torque, f represents the desired support force, and CPerror represents the CP error.


In one embodiment, each ankle joint of the robot may include a front ankle joint and an ankle side joint. The front ankle joint is to adjust the pitch angle of an associated foot, and the ankle side joint is to adjust the roll angle of the associated foot.


In one embodiment, the desired torque of the left foot of the robot can be calculated according to the following equations: Tldx=k*fld*CPerror_y, and Tldy=k*fld*CPerror_x, where k represents the preset torque controller parameter, fid represents the desired support force of the left foot, CPerror_x represents the first component of the capture point error, CPerror_y represents the second component of the capture point error, Tldx represents a first component of the desired torque of the left foot, and Tldy represents a second component of the desired torque of the left foot.


Similarly, the desired torque of the left foot of the robot can be calculated according to the following equations: Trdx=k*frd*CPerror_y, and Trdy=k*frd*CPerror_x, where frd represents the desired support force of the right foot, Trdx represents a first component of the desired torque of the right foot, and Trdy represents a second component of the desired torque of the right foot.


Step S204: Obtain a measured torque of the left foot and a measured torque of the right foot, and calculating a desired pose of the left foot and a desired pose of the right foot according to the desired torque and the measured torque of the left foot and the desired torque and the measured torque of the right foot.


In one embodiment, the actual torque of the left foot and right foot of the robot can be measured by the six-dimensional force sensor. Here, they are referred to as the measured torque of the left foot and the right foot, respectively.


Taking the ankle side joint of the left foot as an example, the rotation of the ankle side joint can be equivalent to a rotating spring model shown in FIG. 5. Based on this spring model, a pose controller for the ankle side joint of the left can be designed according to the following equation: R{dot over (o)}lllx=Kp(Tldx−Tlmx)−KsRolllx, where Kp represents a preset damping parameter and Ks represents a preset stiffness parameter, which can be set to proper values according to actual needs; Tlmx represents a first component of the measured torque of the left foot, which is the actual torque of the ankle side joint of the left foot; Rolllx represents a roll angle of the desired pose of the left foot, and is the desired pose angle of the ankle side joint of the left foot; and R{dot over (o)}lllx is the derivative of Rolllx and represents an angular speed of the left foot about a roll axis. The value of Rolllx can be obtained by solving the equation above.


Similarly, a pose controller for the ankle front joint of the left foot can be designed based on this spring model according to the following equation; PitĊchly=Kp(Tldy−Tlmy)−KsPitchly, where Tlmy represents a second component of the measured torque of the left foot, which is the actual torque of the ankle front joint of the left foot; Pitchly represents a pitch angle of the desired pose of the left foot and is the desired pose angle of the ankle front joint of the left foot; Pitċhly is derivative of Pitchly and represents an angular speed of the left foot about a pitch axis. The value of Pitchly can be obtained by solving the equation above.


Similarly, a pose controller for the ankle side joint of the right foot can be designed based on this spring model according to the following equation: R{dot over (o)}llrx=Kp(Trdx−Trmx)−KsRollrx, where Trmx represents a first component of the measured torque of the right foot, which is the actual torque of the ankle side joint of the right foot; Rollrx represents a roll angle of the desired pose of the right foot, and is the desired pose angle of the ankle side joint of the right foot; R{dot over (o)}llrx is the derivative of Rollrx and represents an angular speed of the right foot about a roll axis. The value of Rollrx can be obtained by solving the equation above.


Similarly, a pose controller for the ankle front joint of the right foot can be designed based on this spring model according to the following equation: Pitċhry=Kp(Trdy−Trmy)−KsPitchry, where Trmy represents a second component of the measured torque of the right foot, which is the actual torque of the ankle front joint of the right foot; Pitchry represents a pitch angle of the desired pose of the right foot, and is the desired pose angle of the ankle front joint of the right foot; and Pitċhry is derivative of Pitchry and represents an angular speed of the right foot about a pitch axis. The value of Pitchry can be obtained by solving the equation above.


Step S205: Control the robot to walk according to the desired pose of the left foot and the desired pose of the right foot.


According to the robot control method described in the embodiments of the present disclosure above, the capture point error of the robot is calculated in real time. According to a planned ZMP position, the support force distribution of the left and right feet can be determined, and the result of the support torque distribution of the left and right feet can then be calculated. Finally, the poses of the feet of the robot can be adjusted in real time through torque tracking, so as to realize the rapid adaptation of the feet to an uneven terrain.
