2. Basic characteristic of all biped locomotion systems: – Contact of the foot with the ground surface – Gait repeatability – Interchangeability of the single- and double-support phases

3. WALKING ROBOT During the walk two different situations arise in sequence: – Statically stable double-support phase: both the feet in contact with the ground – Single-support phase: only one foot is in contact with the ground, small RoS The locomotion mechanism changes its structure during the single walking cycle from an open to a closed kinematic chain.

14. CONTROL The system having the coordinates q as output has maximum relative degree; Full feedback linearization, by numerical inversion of the dynamic – Full dynamic decoupling – Yields an easy design of the controller for asintotic stability and tracking of trajectories.

20. CoP and ZMP Two concepts are mostly used to measure and ensure dynamic stability: – ZMP(Zero Moment Point) – CoP(Center of Pressure) Having the CoM projection within the contact area does not ensure stability for a non-static structure.

21. ZMP The Zero Moment Point concept is an extension of the CoM projection taking into account the inertia forces as well as the gravity forces. The ZMP is the point on the ground where the tipping moment acting on the system equals zero.

22. ZMP For a non-static structure: The ZMP is different w.r.t. the projection of the Center of Mass (CoM) on the ground. Having the ZMP within the contact area ensure dynamic stability.

23. ZMP ZMP formal definition: The ZMP is the point on the ground where the resultant moment acting on the biped, due to gravity and inertia forces, is normal to the supporting plane of the tow feet.

24. CoP CoP formal definition: The CoP is the point on the ground where the moment due to the resultant force of the contact forces (pressure+frictional forces) is normal to the supporting plane of the two feet.

25. CoP and ZMP The Newton-Eulero equations of the biped global motion can be written as: yields: – the concepts of CoP and ZMP are strictly related; – It is more convenient to measure the contact forces rather than the link's accelerations.

26. UNILATERAL CONSTRAINTS The actuation torques generated by NE to track the desired CoP are not always compatible with the unilateral constraint at the base. 3-Phases NE: Forward: accelerations; Backward: Base reaction; Re-forward: Compute the compatible reaction and propagate. If a correction has been made, the end effector's requested interaction in the backward phase is not going to be met.
