Abstract: A linkage mechanism includes: a base member; a first link rotatably connected to the base member, the first link defining a first arc-shaped guide groove centered on a pivot axis about which the first link rotates relative to the base member; a second link rotatably connected to the first link; a connecting member rotatably connected to the base member and the second link; an actuating mechanism including a linear actuator and a transmission member that is driven by the linear actuator, the transmission member having a first end rotatably connected to the output shaft, and a second end slidably received in the first arc-shaped guide groove. When the linear actuator drives the connecting member to extend and move, the second end of the transmission member abuts against one end of the first arc-shaped guide groove, which drives the first link to rotate relative to the base member.

Abstract: A robotic finger structure includes a proximal phalanx; a middle phalanx rotatably connected to one end of the proximal phalanx; a distal phalanx rotatably connected to one end of the middle phalanx and defining a distal phalanx opening in a front side thereof and at one end adjacent to the middle phalanx; a connecting rod having opposite ends that are rotatably connected to the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx, and an actuating assembly to drive the middle phalanx to rotate with respect to the proximal phalanx. The connecting rod includes a first angled segment having a first recess facing a back side of the middle phalanx. When the distal phalanx is flush with the middle phalanx, the first angled segment passes through the distal phalanx opening, and a first end of the distal phalanx opening extends into the first recess.

Abstract: A path planning method and a biped robot using the same are provided. The method includes: generating a candidate node set for a next foot placement based on a biped robot's own parameters and joint information of a current node, adding valid candidate nodes in the candidate node set to a priority queue so as to select optimal nodes for realizing next node expansion. These optimal nodes are output to generate a foot placement sequence from an initial node to a target node, which can greatly reduce the search amount for path nodes when the robot's legs intersect and touch the ground, thereby improving the efficiency of path planning.

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.
