Abstract

Human can walk agilely because of their dynamic balance. In this article, we develop a simple algorithm to control bipedal walking with active balance. The robot can reach its expected velocity by controlling stance leg length and can maintain dynamic balance by selecting suitable swing direction. We test our control algorithm in a simulation environment. The tests show that the robot can follow the given velocity, endure external disturbance from front and rear direction, and walk on the uneven or ramp ground. This control algorithm can be used to develop bipedal robot or humanoid robot.
