This paper deals with a novel approach based on the synergy between the dynamic motions of balancing masses and arms to reject large perturbations applied to the upper part of a bipedal robot. Initially the stabilization is carried out with a trunk having 4 degrees of freedom: three translations and one rotation. In the second time the stabilization is performed with a system with arms and having 10 dofs. At first, for a vertical posture of the robot, the trunk bodies of ROBIAN are used to compensate the external threedimensional efforts applied to the robot. During the simulation, this study allows us to determine on-line, the required movements and accelerations of the trunk bodies in order to maintain the robot stability. In the following stage, we study the required movements of a system which is made up of a trunk and two arms in order to ensure the robot stability in presence of disturbances or during a handling of an object. The same formalism is chosen to study the dynamics of the new upper part of the robot. This study shows the importance of the arms for the robot stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
