Biped Stabilization by Linear Feedback of the Variable-Height Inverted Pendulum Model

Stéphane Caron,Stéphane Caron

The variable-height inverted pendulum (VHIP) model enables a new balancing strategy by height variations of the center of mass, in addition to the well-known ankle strategy. We propose a biped stabilizer based on linear feedback of the VHIP that is simple to implement, coincides with the state-of-the-art for small perturbations and is able to recover from larger perturbations thanks to this new st...
