This study presents a new approach for modeling and controlling of a compass gait biped robot based on the use of the switched systems. The linearization of the equations stemming from the formalism of Lagrange allows the construction of a set of local models used to describe the behavior of this non linear system. The selection of each model depends on its activation function depending on the system states. The synthesis of the stability of the walking robot is based on the use of second method of Lyapunov. The synthesis approach leads to a set of bilinear matrices inequalities non resolvable by actual numerical solvers. To come over these difficulties, some relaxations are brought to get useful and exploitable numerical solutions.

Abstract-the analysis and control of delayed systems are becoming more and more research topics in progress. This is mainly due to the fact that the delay is frequently encountered in technological systems. Most control command laws are based on current digital computers and delays are intrinsic to the process or in the control loop caused by the transmission time control sequences, or computing time. In other hand, the controls of humanoid walking robot present a common problem in robotics because it involves physical interaction between an articulated system and its environment. This close relationship is actually a common set of fundamental problems such as the implementation of robust stable dynamic control. This paper presents acomplete approach, based on switched system theory, for the stabilization of a compass gait robot subject to time delays transmission. The multiple feedback gains designed are based on multiple linear systems governed by a switching control law. The establishment of control law in real time is affected by the unknown pounded random delay. The results obtained from this method show that the control law stabilize the compass robot walk despite a varying delay reaching six times sampling period.
