Problems solved by technology

[0002] Legged robots are mainly used in unstructured environments. The walking gait in an unstructured environment is different from that in a flat environment, which requires higher stability of the robot, and the constantly changing up and down slopes make it easier for the robot to fall over.
The prerequisite for a footed robot to adapt to a complex unstructured environment is to be able to perceive the surrounding terrain environment. However, existing footed robots usually process lidar and video image information to obtain external terrain information, which is costly and computationally intensive.
Especially for the gait control of footed robots with only two supporting legs, such as the gait control of biped robots and the gait (trot, bound, etc.) Surrounding terrain parameter information

Embodiment 1

[0052] The invention provides a method for measuring terrain parameters of a legged robot, such as figure 1 Shown, is the flowchart of the inventive method, comprises the following steps:

[0053] S1: Calculate the unit vector of the foot end position of the supporting leg of the legged robot;

[0054] S101: When the legged robot is walking, under the condition that the supporting leg does not slip, the position vector of the foot end of the supporting leg of the legged robot in the fuselage coordinate system is obtained according to the sensor measurement. leg, the speed of the supporting leg being zero means that the supporting leg does not slip;

[0055] In this embodiment, a quadruped robot is taken as an example for description. Such as figure 2 As shown, the supporting legs are 1 leg and 2 legs, and the position vector of each leg can be obtained after kinematic calculation based on the sensor data installed on the legs.

[0056] S102: Calculate the position vector ...
