Keeping balance in movement is an important premise for biped robots to complete various tasks. Now, the balance control of biped robots mainly depends on the cooperation of various joints of the robot's body. When robots move faster, the adjustment allowance of joints is reduced, and the robot's anti-disturbance ability will inevitably decline. To solve this problem, the control moment gyroscope (CMG) is creatively used as an auxiliary stabilisation device for fully actuated biped robots and the CMG assistance strategy, which can be integrated into the biped's balance control framework, is proposed. This strategy includes model predictive control module, distribution module, and CMG precession controller. Under the command of it, CMGs can effectively assist the robot in resisting impact and returning to initial positions in time. The results of anti-impact simulation on the walking and running biped robot prove that, with the help of CMGs, the robot's ability to resist disturbance and remain stable is significantly improved.
