With the increasing complexity of humanoid mechanisms and their desired capabilities, there is a pressing need for a generalized framework where a desired whole-body motion behavior can be easily specified and controlled. Our hypothesis is that human motion results from simultaneously performing multiple objectives in a hierarchical manner, and we have analogously developed a prioritized, multiple-task control framework. The operational space formulation10 provides dynamic models at the task level and structures for decoupled task and posture control.13 This formulation allows for posture objectives to be controlled without dynamically interfering with the operational task. Achieving higher performance of posture objectives requires precise models of their dynamic behaviors. In this paper we complete the picture of task descriptions and whole-body dynamic control by establishing models of the dynamic behavior of secondary task objectives within the posture space. Using these models, we present a whole-body control framework that decouples the interaction between the task and postural objectives and compensates for the dynamics in their respective spaces.

Biped robot research has always been a research focus in the field of robot research. Among them, the motion control system, as the core content of the biped robot research, directly determines the stability of the robot walking. Traditional biped robot control methods suffer from low model accuracy, poor dynamic characteristics of motion controllers, and poor motion robustness. In order to improve the walking robustness of the biped robot, this paper solves the problem from three aspects: planning method, mathematical model, and control method, forming a robot motion control framework based on the whole-body dynamics model and quadratic planning. The robot uses divergent component of motion for trajectory planning and introduces the friction cone contact model into the control frame to improve the accuracy of the model. A complete constraint equation system can ensure that the solution of the controller meets the dynamic characteristics of the biped robot. An optimal controller is designed based on the control framework, and starting from the Lyapunov function, the convergence of the optimal controller is proved. Finally, the experimental results show that the method is robust and has certain anti-interference ability.

Augmenting the physical strength of a human operator during unpredictable human-directed (volitional) movements is a relevant capability for several proposed exoskeleton applications, including mobility augmentation, manual material handling, and tool operation. Unlike controllers and augmentation systems designed for repetitive tasks (e.g., walking), we approach physical strength augmentation by a task-agnostic method of force amplification—using force/torque sensors at the human–machine interface to estimate the human task force, and then amplifying it with the exoskeleton. We deploy an amplification controller that is integrated into a complete whole-body control framework for controlling exoskeletons that includes human-led foot transitions, inequality constraints, and a computationally efficient prioritization. A powered lower-body exoskeleton is used to demonstrate behavior of the control framework in a lab environment. This exoskeleton can assist the operator in lifting an unknown backpack payload while remaining fully backdrivable.
