Abstract: A biped robot gait control method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium are provided. During the movement, the system obtains a current supporting pose of a current supporting leg of the biped robot, and calculates a relative pose between the supporting legs based on the current supporting pose and a preset ideal supporting pose of a next step. The system further calculates modified gait parameters of the next step based on the relative pose between the two supporting legs and a joint distance between left and right ankle joints in an initial state of the biped robot when standing. Finally, the system controls the next supporting leg to move according to the modified gait parameters.

Abstract: A collision detection method, a storage medium, and a robot are provided. The method includes: calculating an external torque of a first joint of the robot based on a preset generalized momentum-based disturbance observer; calculating an external torque of a second joint of the robot based on a preset long short-term memory network; calculating an external torque of a third joint of the robot based on the external torque of the first joint and the external torque of the second joint; and determining whether the robot has collided with an external environment or not based on the external torque of the third joint and a preset collision threshold.
