This master’s thesis concerns the development,
modeling and control of a humanoid robot,
which enables human-like walk.
As the focus is to obtain human-like walk, the
robot is designed to resemble human proportions
and a special joint has been developed to
resemble the hip joint of humans, and thereby
enabling walking in curved paths. Furthermore
the hardware necessary to obtain a fully
autonomous system is developed and implemented.
The result of the design phase is a
humanoid robot, called ”Roberto”, measuring
58 cmand with 21 actuated degrees of freedom.
A complete dynamical model describing the
system has been developed. The model is a hybrid
model which enables simulation of complete
walking cycles. A novel solution of the
dynamics of the robot during double support
phase has been given.
To enable human-like walk a set of trajectories
has been developed, based on the zero-moment
point and dynamical simulations. The trajectories
are simulated, and human-like walk is obtain
on the model. To maintain stability during
walk with the real robot, two controllers
have been developed, a posture controller and
a zero-moment point controller. It was found
that the controllers were able to track a zeromoment
point reference and a inclination reference
given to the system.
Human-like walk was not obtained on the real
system, due to system limitations. If a new interface
to the DC-motors in the servos was developed,
and a faster on-board computer was
chosen, human-like walk should be possible.
