Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there is currently no simple structure applied to 2D passive walking to solve the problem of swinging legs rubbing the ground. Rotating the knee joint or ankle joint requires additional degrees of freedom, which will make the model more complicated. The corresponding physical prototype is built. and control algorithms will increase the difficulty

Abstract

The invention relates to an under-actuated walking apparatus and a control method for the same and belongs to the technical field of semi-actuated walking. The apparatus comprises a crankshaft, a platform, a supporting block, hip parts, leg parts and a control device, wherein the crankshaft provides rotating power for the leg parts; the supporting platform can support the walking device; a left hip joint and a right joint and the control device are fixed on the platform; the hip parts are included by a left hip part and a right hip part; each hip part is connected with an internal straight leg and an external straight leg via a crankshaft rocking rod; the lower end of each straight leg is fixedly connected with a spherical foot part; the control device is formed by a data collection device, a driving device and a main control device; information acquired by the data collection device can be processed by the main control device in real time; and rotating speed of the a transmission motor can be adjusted by the driving device controlled by the control device. The under-actuated walking apparatus is simply structured with convenient use and easy manufacturing; a problem that 2D walking swinging legs have friction with the ground can be overcome; the walking apparatus can walk naturally, possesses large parameter attraction domain and low energy consumption; and the under-actuated walking apparatus possesses large application use in daily life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots and relates to a semi-passive walking technology, in particular to an underactuated walking device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, robot technology is a research hotspot all over the world, especially the research of passive walking robot is the cutting-edge technology in this field. At present, good results have been achieved in the research of semi-passive walking robots at home and abroad, and various prototypes have been developed. For example, the Ranger robot of Cornell University is currently the most successful 2D semi-passive walker in the world, and its walking energy efficiency is very close to that of human walking. MIT's 3D semi-passive walking robot Toddler, the foot design enables the walking device to avoid swinging legs from touching the ground in advance by swinging left and right. It is currently the most intelligent passive walking device. ...
