Optimization of Humanoid Robot Leg Movement Using Open CM 9.04

Abstract

The Indonesian Robot Dance Contest (KRSTI) is a branch of the Indonesian Robot Contest (KRI) with the theme of dance. The robot used is a humanoid robot that can dance. Every year at the event, the provisions for robots constantly change, both the type of dance being demonstrated and the requirements for the robot's height. The taller the robot, the more difficult it is to control its walking movements because of the load it carries. This study uses a suitable algorithm to make the walking movement more natural and minimize the robot's falling. Human ROM data is used as a parameter for the range of motion of the servos that act as joints in the robot's legs. The algorithm created serves to determine the initial position of the angle on the servo to avoid the wrong initial movement position between one servo and another. The robot used is the Bioloid Robot’s leg Type A and uses OpenCM 9.04-A as the controller. The results showed that ROM on human feet could not be fully implemented on robot legs due to the robot's structure and the need for a robot that only relies on an algorithm to find the correct fulcrum to maintain balance. The comparison results show that the movement when walking on the ankle (ID servo 15) ranges from 749-567, while the ROM range is only between 580-512. When walking (servo ID 16), movement ranges from 460-291, while the ROM range ranges from 580-512.
