Off-line controller design for reliable walking of ranger
2016
2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
Preserved Fulltext
We present a method for designing a walking controller for the walking robot Cornell Ranger. ...
We demonstrate this walking controller on the Cornell Ranger, and find that the resulting gait is comparable to that of a previous (hand-tuned) controller, with regard to energy use, speed regulation, ...
To avoid controller tuning on mechanical hardware, we turn to off-line model-based optimization for controller design. ...

We present the design and control of an energy-efficient, knee-less, essentially planar, four-legged bipedal robot called Ranger. ...
Key design features are: a light weight and high strength box body, low-inertia leg design for fast and efficient swing, foot actuation that combines toe-off and ground clearance, a steering mechanism ...
The broad goal of the Ranger project 7 is to develop a reliable robot capable of walking long distances on minimal amounts of energy. ...
