The effects of foot geometric properties on the gait of planar bipeds walking under HZD-based control

Abstract: It has been hypothesized by many that foot design can influence gait. This idea was investigated in both simulation and hardware for the five-link, planar biped ERNIE controlled under the Hybrid Zero Dynamics paradigm. The effects of walking speed, foot radius, and foot center of curvature location on gait efficiency and kinematics were investigated in a full factorial study of gaits optimized using a work-based objective function. In most cases, the simulation correctly predicted the trends observed in hardwa… Show more

“…HZD-based controllers have been validated numerically and experimentally for (i) 2D and 3D bipedal robots, including RABBIT [17,18], MA-BEL [19][20][21], ERNIE [22], AMBER [23], ATRIAS [24][25][26][27], and DURUS [28,29] prototypes, (ii) powered prosthetic legs [30][31][32][33], (iii) exoskeletons [34], (iv) monopedal robots [35,36], and (v) quadruped robots [37]. In the HZD approach, a set of output functions, referred to as virtual constraints, is defined for the continuous-time dynamics of the system and asymptotically driven to zero by partial linearizing feedback controllers [38].…”

“…In particular, virtual constraints are defined as holonomic output functions y ( x ) for continuous-time portions of hybrid models of walking and they are typically enforced (i.e., y ≡ 0) by centralized I-O linearizing feedback laws [51]. Virtual constraint controllers have been numerically and experimentally validated for stable 2D and 3D underactuated bipedal robots [14], [53]–[55], [58] as well as 2D powered prosthetic legs [28]–[30], [47]. For mechanical systems with more than one degree of underactuation, the stability of the periodic gait depends on the choice of the virtual constraints [13], [41].…”

“…In this approach, holonomic output functions y ( x ) define desired virtual constraints, i.e., y ≡ 0, that are typically enforced by centralized input-output (I/O) linearizing feedback laws during the continuous-time portion of the hybrid system. Virtual constraint controllers have been validated numerically and experimentally for stable 2D and 3D underactuated bipedal robots [8], [29], [30], [34], [35] as well as 2D powered prosthetic legs [16]–[18]. The stability of walking gaits in the virtual constraints approach depends on the choice of the output functions [25].…”
