Autonomous gait generation using acceleration capability analysis

摘要

This paper presents a novel gait generation technique for legged robotic systems which utilizes the dynamic capability equations. The method consists of calculating the acceleration capability early in the simulation to determine a specific configuration which easily allows a gait to be generated. This position is calculated to most effectively arrest any body center-of-mass momentum upon impact and allows the system to continue travelling in the desired direction without suffering detrimental effects from the impulse forces normally encountered when walking.
