We introduce a robust gait generation framework for humanoid robots based on our Intrinsically Stable Model Predictive Control (IS-MPC) scheme, which features a stability constraint to guarantee internal stability. With respect to the original version, the new framework adds multiple components addressing the robustness problem from different angles: an observer-based disturbance compensation mechanism; a ZMP constraint restriction that provides robustness with respect to bounded disturbances;
