摩擦与滚阻对被动行走器步态影响的研究

本文研究了圆弧足被动行走器支撑足与地面间的摩擦系数和滚阻系数对被动行走器步态的影响.首先分别利用扩展的赫兹接触力模型和LuGre摩擦模型描述了支撑足与地面接触点处的法向支撑力和切向摩擦力,并考虑了行走过程中支撑足所受的滚动摩阻;其次利用第二类Lagrange方程推导出了该系统的动力学方程,并通过与已有成果的对比确定了合适的LuGre摩擦模型参数;最后仿真分析了摩擦系数和滚阻系数对被动行走器步态的影响.研究发现:摩擦系数的改变虽然对被动行走器行走的平均速度、步幅,以及支撑足接触点处的最大法向接触力的影响较小,但摩擦系数的减小会改变其行走步态类型,如发生倍周期分岔甚至混沌现象;然而,滚阻系数的改变会对行走器行走的平均速度、步幅,以及支撑足接触点处的最大法向接触力的影响较大,尚未发现滚阻系数的改变会引起其行走步态的变化.

圆弧足被动行走器非光滑动力学仿真研究

传统的被动行走器动力学研究方法是将被动 行走器模型视为双足轮流铰接于地面(或纯滚动)的倒立摆模型, 并应用角动量守恒假设计 算支撑腿转换时足地碰撞后的系统运动状态. 但该方法不能分析足地之间的滑动现 象、足地之间的非完全塑性碰撞现象和两足同时着地的情况. 采用基于线性互补 的非光滑动力学方法, 给出了一种基于中点格式积分一步的时间步进算法, 可以有效地分析 足地间的摩擦和碰撞现象. 应用该方法对被动行走器进行数值仿真, 发现了两种新的周期性 步态, 一种是带摩擦滑动现象的步态, 另一种是支撑足转换时发生多次碰撞现象的步态. 数 值仿真结果还表明, 较大的摩擦系数和较小的法向恢复系数更有利于被动行走器实现稳定周 期步态行走.

The experimental study on the contact process of passive walking

The passive dynamic walking is a new concept of biped walking. Researchers have been working on this area with both theoretical analysis and experimental analysis ever since McGeer. This paper presents our compass-like passive walking model with a new set of testing system. Two gyroscopes are used for measuring the angles of two legs, and ten FlexiForce sensors are used for measuring the contact forces on the feet. We got the experimental data on the passive walking process with the validated testing system. A great emphasis was put on the contact process between the feet and the slope. The contact process of the stance leg was divided into four sections, and differences between the real testing contact process and the classic analytical contact process with no bouncing and slipping were summarized.     

LCP method for a planar passive dynamic walker based on an event-driven scheme

The main purpose of this paper is to present a linear complementarity problem (LCP) method for a planar passive dynamic walker with round feet based on an event-driven scheme. The passive dynamic walker is treated as a planar multi-rigid-body system. The dynamic equations of the passive dynamic walker are obtained by using Lagrange’s equations of the second kind. The normal forces and frictional forces acting on the feet of the passive walker are described based on a modified Hertz contact model and Coulomb’s law of dry friction. The state transition problem of stick-slip between feet and floor is formulated as an LCP, which is solved with an event-driven scheme. Finally, to validate the methodology, four gaits of the walker are simulated: the stance leg neither slips nor bounces; the stance leg slips without bouncing; the stance leg bounces without slipping; the walker stands after walking several steps.     

Passive walker that can walk down steps： simulations and experiments

A planar passive walking model with straight legs and round feet was discussed. This model can walk down steps, both on stairs with even steps and with random steps. Simulations showed that models with small moments of inertia can navigate large height steps. Period-doubling has been observed when the space between steps grows. This period-doubling has been validated by experiments, and the results of experiments were coincident with the simulation.     

Modeling and analysis of passive dynamic bipedal walking with segmented feet and compliant joints

Passive dynamic walking has been developed as a possible explanation for the efficiency of the human gait. This paper presents a passive dynamic walking model with segmented feet, which makes the bipedal walking gait more close to natural human-like gait. The proposed model extends the simplest walking model with the addition of flat feet and torsional spring based compliance on ankle joints and toe joints, to achieve stable walking on a slope driven by gravity. The push-off phase includes foot rotations around the toe joint and around the toe tip, which shows a great resemblance to human normal walking. This paper investigates the effects of the segmented foot structure on bipedal walking in simulations. The model achieves satisfactory walking results on even or uneven slopes.

Self-stability of a simple walking model driven by a rhythmic signal

In this paper, we analyzed the dynamic properties of a simple walking model of a biped robot driven by a rhythmic signal from an oscillator. The oscillator receives no sensory feedback and the rhythmic signal is an open loop. The simple model consists of a hip and two legs that are connected at the hip. The leg motion is generated by a rhythmic signal. In particular, we analytically examined the stability of a periodic walking motion. We obtained approximate periodic solutions and the Jacobian matrix of a Poincaré map by the power-series expansion using a small parameter. Although the analysis was inconclusive when we used only the first order expansion, by employing the second order expansion it clarified the stability, revealing that the periodic walking motion is asymptotically stable and the simple model possesses self-stability as an inherent dynamic characteristic in walking. We also clarified the stability region with respect to model parameters such as mass ratio and walking speed.
