Abstract:A quasi-passive biped (having only one actuator) developed into a Spanish project called "PASIBOT" [1] is presented in this article. We focus on the PASIBOT's topology, kinematics and dynamics, and we describe a program designed for carrying out the corresponding calculations. This code provides for all kinematic and dynamic data, as functions of time, along one step: position, velocity and acceleration of all members, as well as all the forces and torques on each of them, motor torque included. This latter in… Show more
“…A prototype of PASIBOT, modelled with the solid modelling software Solid Edge (Siemens PLM, USA), is shown in Figure 1. In Figure 2, all links belonging to the supporting leg are named and numbered as in [1]. Corresponding links of the swinging leg are identified by primes.…”

“…In the preliminary kinematic analysis of PASIBOT [1], a fixed supporting foot was assumed, so the biped possessed a single degree of freedom (DOF). Thus, the angular positions and the Cartesian coordinates of the centre of mass of link i are referred to the angular position of the motor crank (ϑ8):…”

“…As a result, a wide variety of refined designs have been proposed. The introduction of new mechanisms and kinematic chains has enabled walking robot designs with fewer actuators and gearboxes, thereby reducing the weight, power consumption and cost of operation without compromising walking functionality [1] [2].…”

This article addresses the supporting foot slippage of the biped robot PASIBOT and develops its forward and inverse dynamics for simple and double support phases. To address the slippage phenomenon, we consider an additional degree of freedom at the supporting foot and also distinguish between static and kinetic friction conditions. The inverse and forward dynamics, accounting for support foot slippage, are encoded in MATLAB. The algorithm predicts the motion of the biped from the torque function given by the biped's sole motor. Thus, the algorithm becomes an indispensable tool for studying transient states of the biped (for example, the torques required for starting and braking), as well as defining the conditions that prevent or control slippage. Since the developed code is parametric, its output can greatly assist in the design, optimization and control of PASIBOT and similar biped robots. The topology, kinematics and inverse dynamics of the one-degree-of-freedom biped PASIBOT have been previously described, but without regard to slippage between the supporting foot and the ground.

Competition practice is of great significance for improving the engineering ability of undergraduates majoring in robotics engineering, and it occupies an important position in practical teaching systems. However, most existing competitions are spontaneously participated by students, and problems, such as poor systemicity, unclear ability‐training goals, and lack of an effective evaluation system, occur, resulting in limited improvement in students' ability. In this paper, a competency model for robotics engineering was proposed. It includes four dimensions: knowledge, skills, dispositions, and evaluation. The first three dimensions comprise multiple secondary and tertiary indices. On this basis, a competition practice system was established. The system includes four practical course groups and a final competition, and the competency model runs through before, during, and after practice. The competition practice system based on the competency model was applied to two groups of students. The analysis results show that students have a clear understanding of their own ability, and their comprehensive ability has been improved. This finding provides a reference for the construction of practice systems for other engineering majors.
