Inverse Dynamics Control of Compliant Hybrid Zero Dynamic Walking

Jenna Reher,Aaron D. Ames,Jenna Reher,Aaron D. Ames

We present a trajectory planning and control architecture for bipedal locomotion at a variety of speeds on a highly underactuated and compliant bipedal robot. A library of compliant walking trajectories are planned offline, and stored as compact arrays of polynomial coefficients for tracking online. The control implementation uses a floating-base inverse dynamics controller which generates dynamic...
