Recovering and maintaining the balance of the biped walking robots play an important role in their operation. In this article we will analyze some strategies for balancing in the sagittal plane, in the presence of external disturbances and changing the proportions between leg’s length and trunk’s length (golden section), and/or adding weights (boot type) between the ankle and the knee so that the center of gravity is as low as possible. For equilibrium recovery, we suggest that the biped walking model be equipped with actuator that provides a torque at the hip. or/and at the ankle. The strategy of balance has a goal to move the disturbed system to the desired equilibrium state. We chose to study, the model of a double linear pendulum inverted under-actuated, with one passive and one active joint. Each case study and usage of these strategies is validated by Webots and is applied for NAO robot.

This paper uses biped walking robot as the research object, and designs robots original system, based on the requirements of Biped Walking Robot Competition of China. According to the biped walking robots characteristics of multi-joints, many degrees of freedom, multivariable, strong coupling and nonlinearity [, we can build system model using the Denavi - Hartenberg coordinate, describe the system model by the homogeneous coordinate transformation theory, and then plan on system gait based on ZMP stability . Finally, we can solve for the joint trajectory of the system by using computer-aided software.

Biped walking is easily adapted to rough terrain such as stairs and stony paths, but speed and energy efficiency on flat surfaces is less effective than wheeled locomotion. We propose new control for swizzling by biped walking robots using inline skates. Swizzling uses friction force generated by regular passive wheel movement. Our proposal is based on the reaction force on the foot, and new reference position is changed based on reaction force not to be large internal force. Through hardware experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed.

We developed a new type of a human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by the closed-chain type of a joint actuator. Each leg of the BWR is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 12 degree-of-freedom robot, including four arm joints, was developed. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously; it is actuated by small 90W DC motors/drivers and is has DC batteries and controllers. A new type of the joint actuator for the BWR is composed of the four-bar-link mechanism driven by a ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio despite its light weight.In this paper, analyses on the four-bar-link mechanism applied to the joint actuator and on the structure of the BWR are presented. Through walking experiments of the BWR, the superior trajectory-tracking ability of the proposed joint actuator is validated.
