    Abstract: A method for a multi-legged robot having a body and a number of legs, includes: obtaining a current pose of the body, forces applied to the body, and joint angles of each of supporting legs of the legs; creating a mapping matrix from the forces applied to the body to desired support forces applied to soles of the supporting legs; obtaining priority targets by prioritizing the forces acting in different directions, determining a weight matrix for each priority target, and creating an optimization model of the support forces for each priority target based on the mapping matrix and the weight matrices; solving the optimization model of each of the priority targets to obtain the desired support forces corresponding to each of the priority targets; and calculating joint torques of the supporting legs for joint control, based on the solved desired support forces and Jacobian matrices corresponding to the supporting legs.

    Abstract: A head mechanism includes a base connectable to a body of a robot, a mounting member arranged above the base, a connecting member rotatably connected to the base and the mounting member. The connecting member, together with the mounting member, is rotatable relative to the base about a first axis, and the mounting member is rotatable relative to the connecting member about a second axis. The first axis and the second axis extend in different directions. The head mechanism further includes two first actuating mechanisms fixed to the base, and the two first actuating mechanisms are configured to drive the mounting member to rotate with respect to the base.

    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. In the present disclosure, the component of the model error in the joint external torque calculated by the disturbance observer is eliminated to obtain the accurate contact torque, thereby improving the accuracy of the collision detection.

    Abstract: A method for controlling gait of a biped robot includes: collecting a lateral center of mass (CoM) speed and a lateral CoM position of the biped robot when the biped robot walks in place, calculating phase variables of virtual constraints corresponding to the CoM of the biped robot in a first phase and a second phase according to the lateral CoM speed and the lateral CoM position; constructing motion trajectory calculation equations for the biped robot based on the phase variables corresponding to the first phase and the second phase, respectively; and finding inverse solutions for joints of the biped robot using the motion trajectory calculation equations to obtain joint angles corresponding to each of the joints of the biped robot to realize gait control.
