    摘要: A legged robot motion control method, apparatus, and device, and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring center of mass state data corresponding to a spatial path starting point and spatial path ending point of a motion path; determining a candidate foothold of each foot in the motion path based on the spatial path starting point and the spatial path ending point; determining a variation relationship between a center of mass position variation coefficient and a foot contact force based on the center of mass state data; screening out, under restrictions of a constraint set, a target center of mass position variation coefficient and target foothold that satisfy the variation relationship; determining a target motion control parameter according to the target center of mass position variation coefficient and the target foothold; and controlling a legged robot based on the target motion control parameter to move according to the motion path.

    摘要: An example implementation includes (i) receiving sensor data that indicates topographical features of an environment in which a robotic device is operating, (ii) processing the sensor data into a topographical map that includes a two-dimensional matrix of discrete cells, the discrete cells indicating sample heights of respective portions of the environment, (iii) determining, for a first foot of the robotic device, a first step path extending from a first lift-off location to a first touch-down location, (iv) identifying, within the topographical map, a first scan patch of cells that encompass the first step path, (v) determining a first high point among the first scan patch of cells; and (vi) during the first step, directing the robotic device to lift the first foot to a first swing height that is higher than the determined first high point.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing impact forces to legged robots as a result of traversing a terrain. The method includes employing actuators and compliant elements to use the contact of a first portion of a foot assembly with a terrain during a step to reduce the vertical velocity of a subsequent portion of the foot assembly so that the vertical velocity of the subsequent portion as it touches the terrain is substantially zero relative to the terrain. Foot assemblies that employ these methods are also provided.

    摘要: Disclosed are a moving part switchable in a leg mode and a wheel mode and thus capable of moving stably over various terrains by switching to a leg mode or a wheel mode as needed; and a hybrid robot having the moving part. More particularly, the hybrid robot switchable in a leg mode and a wheel mode includes a main body; and a moving part movable in a state of being rotated in at least one direction of roll, pitch, and yaw directions by a motor mounted on the main body, wherein the moving part includes: a first link rotatably connected to the main body through a portion between one side of the first link and another side thereof; second links located below the first link and configured to rotate in an identical direction in conjunction with rotation of the first link; a joint motion means connected to one side of each of the first and second links; and a wheel motion means connected to another side of each of the first and second links, wherein the moving part operates together with the motor mounted on the main body, the moving part is operated by the joint motion means in the leg mode, and the moving part is operated by the wheel motion means in the wheel mode.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a motion control method and apparatus for a legged robot, a legged robot, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. The legged robot includes at least two foot-ends. The method includes: receiving a bound instruction for the legged robot in response to the foot-ends of the legged robot standing in unit regions that are independent from one another, the bound instruction being used for instructing the legged robot to bound to a target unit region from at least two unit regions in which the legged robot is currently located; and controlling the legged robot to bound to the target unit region in response to the bound instruction, a distance between any two foot-ends of the legged robot in the target unit region being less than a distance between two corresponding foot-ends before bounding.

    摘要: An example robot includes a hydraulic actuator cylinder controlling motion of a member of the robot. The hydraulic actuator cylinder comprises a piston, a first chamber, and a second chamber. A valve system controls hydraulic fluid flow between a hydraulic supply line of pressurized hydraulic fluid, the first and second chambers, and a return line. A controller may provide a first signal to the valve system so as to begin moving the piston based on a trajectory comprising moving in a forward direction, stopping, and moving in a reverse direction. The controller may provide a second signal to the valve system so as to cause the piston to override the trajectory as it moves in the forward direction and stop at a given position, and then provide a third signal to the valve system so as to resume moving the piston in the reverse direction based on the trajectory.
