    摘要: A displacement manipulated variable determination section 53 in a control device 40 for a mobile robot 1 determines, for each of contacting portions 13, 23 of a plurality of movable links 3, 4, a displacement manipulated variable for making a desired position and/or posture of the contacting portion 13 or 23 displaced, by integrating, under a predetermined condition, a deviation between an observed value of an actual contact reaction force acting from an external object and a desired value thereof. The control device 40 controls an actuator 41 that drives a corresponding joint, in accordance with the displacement manipulated variable determined and a reference operational goal for the mobile robot 1.

    摘要: Example systems and methods for self-righting a robotic device are provided. An example method may include determining an orientation of a bottom surface of a legged robotic device with respect to a ground surface. The method may also include determining that the robotic device is in an unstable position, based on the determined orientation. The method may also include performing a first action configured to return the robotic device to a stable position. The method may also include performing a first action configured to return the legged robotic device to the stable position. The method may also include performing a second action configured to return the legged robotic device to the stable position, if the legged robotic device is in the unstable position after the first action.

    摘要: A stabilizer frame apparatus may be configured for engaging a load transporting apparatus for purposes of moving a load. The stabilizer frame apparatus may have or include a first stabilizer bar and a second stabilizer bar where the stabilizer frame apparatus is configured to operatively integrate into a load structure. The first stabilizer bar may have a first end and a second end, and the second stabilizer bar may have a first end and a second end. The first end of the first stabilizer bar may be operatively coupled to the first end of the second stabilizer bar. Similarly, the second end of the first stabilizer bar may be operatively coupled to the second end of the second stabilizer bar. In a non-limiting embodiment, the load transporting apparatus may maintain a substantially parallel configuration between the sidewalls of the load structure during movement.
