Abstract

In this paper, we present a new, standalone bipedal robot system that features Hybrid Leg linkages and a 2-DOF neck to incorporate a camera. An online walking pattern generator using ZMP preview control enables remote robot operation based on user commands. The foot trajectory is modified by IMU sensor feedback for stabilization. Taking advantage of the low structural inertia of Hybrid Leg, the effectiveness of bipedal locomotion with pattern generation based on the cart-table model is tested. Given the bio-inspired nature of the Hybrid Leg structure, the gait pattern is chosen to emulate that of humans. We demonstrate bipedal locomotion on an approximately flat table while controlling it remotely. Simultaneous control of two Hybrid Leg bipedal robots is also shown to highlight the performance of the system.
