Abstract: A stepping down trajectory planning method as well as a robot using the same and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: dividing a stepping down process of the robot into a plurality of planned stages; adjusting a start position of a swing leg of the robot according to an ankle-to-heel distance, where the ankle-to-heel distance is a horizontal distance between an ankle joint of the swing leg of the robot and a heel of the swing leg of the robot; determining an initial state and an end state of the swing leg in each of the planned stages according to the start position; and obtaining a planned trajectory of the swing leg by performing a curve fitting on the swing leg in each of the planned stages the initial state and the end state.

Abstract: A robot balance control method as well as a robot using the same and a computer readable storage medium are provided. In the method, a brand new flywheel model different from the existing flywheel model is created. In this flywheel model, the foot of the support leg of the robot is equivalent to the massless link of the flywheel model, while rest parts of the robot are equivalent to the flywheel of the flywheel model. Compared with the various models in the prior art, this flywheel model is more in line with the actual situation of the robot during the monoped supporting period. By controlling the posture of the foot of the support leg based on this flywheel model, a better balance effect can be achieved, which avoids the overturning of the robot.

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: The present disclosure provides a robot motion control method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining geometric parameter(s) of a target step, where the geometric parameters comprise a step width and a step height of the target step; determining at least two time-displacement coordinates and a velocity vector corresponding to each time-displacement coordinate based on the geometric parameters; generating a motion trajectory by fitting the at least two time-displacement coordinates and the corresponding velocity vectors; and controlling feet of the robot to move based on the motion trajectory. In this manner, the feet of the robot can be prevented from colliding violently with the step during going up the step so as to improve the safety and stability.
