Achieving versatile and efficient walking on biped robots is an important research objective. The impact between the foot and the ground has significant effects on the walking stability of biped robots. Research on human walking indicates that the joints in human lower limbs show different stiffness values in different phases of walking. Inspired by humans, this paper presents the realization of biped robot walking with variable stiffness at the ankle joint. A walking control scheme which combines PD control and variable impedance control is designed for the biped robot. Results of dynamic walking simulation verified that variable stiffness at the ankle joint could contribute to the improvement of walking stability and energy efficiency.

To settle the problem that the household robot needs to have the flexibility of object types and target poses when performing object placement tasks, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm is utilized in this paper. By using this algorithm robot can learn the placement method for different object types autonomously under the policy search part, and a convolutional neural network (CNN) policy is trained to make the robot adapt to different target poses. When performing these tasks, the placement error can also be reduced by modifying the sampling method and the weight form of cost function. Finally, the learning ability and flexibility of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm is tested by simulation.

We proposed a lower extremity exoskeleton for power amplification that perceives intended human motion via humanexoskeleton interaction signals measured by biomedical or mechanical sensors, and estimates human gait trajectories to implement corresponding actions quickly and accurately. In this study, torque sensors mounted on the exoskeleton links are proposed for obtaining physical human-robot interaction(pHRI) torque information directly. A Kalman smoother is adopted for eliminating noise and smoothing the signal data. Simultaneously, the mapping from the pHRI torque to the human gait trajectory is defined. The mapping is derived from the real-time state of the robotic exoskeleton during movement. The walking phase is identified by the threshold approach using ground reaction force. Based on phase identification, the human gait can be estimated by applying the proposed algorithm, and then the gait is regarded as the reference input for the controller. A proportional-integral-derivative control strategy is constructed to drive the robotic exoskeleton to follow the human gait trajectory. Experiments were performed on a human subject who walked on the floor at a natural speed wearing the robotic exoskeleton. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

This paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) -based platform for integrated multi-axis motion control and motor drive. As the development of FPGA, the integrated high-performance ARM processor on the FPGA has become the direction of FPGA development. This paper chooses the Xilinx Zynq-7020 programmable system-on-chip(SoC) which integrated dual-core ARM CPU and FPGA as a High-performance hardware platform. This platform is suits for the requirements of integrated multi-axis motion control and motor drive well, one ARM CUP completes the multi-axis position loop algorithm, speed loop algorithm and multi-axis trajectory generation, the other completes the human-computer interaction function. 4-axis current loop pipeline control and double sampling double updating current loop algorithm are accomplished by FPGA which can expand the current loop bandwidth and save FPGA logic resources. This platform's architecture will improve the overall bandwidth of the system, achieve multi-axis synchronization accuracy at nanosecond level which makes position trajectory more accurate.

Human walking is quite an efficient and smooth movement involving multiple successive phases. But for biped robots, most current dynamic walking models are simplified to some extent, with some phases neglected. This paper addresses the development of a complete multi-phase dynamics model for a biped robot. To achieve this, both the single support phase and double support phase are divided into two sub-phases by taking into consideration the rotation of stance foot around its toe and the rotation of swing foot around its heel. Therefore, a more human-like robotic gait is achieved, with transitions occurring at toe-off, heel-off, heel-strike, and toe-strike. Comparing the numbers of degrees of freedom with independent actuators of the biped robot, the whole gait cycle can also be represented by fully-actuated phase, under-actuated phase, and over-actuated phase. On this basis, the detailed dynamics model of each phase is derived using Euler-Lagrange method. And the validity of the dynamics model is demonstrated by simulation.

Service robots are being increasingly used to replace human beings in carrying out various sophisticated, heavy and even dangerous tasks. In order to solve the problem of labor shortage in the medical and nursing industry, this paper proposes a novel high-payload robotic arm for nursing tasks, which can help caregivers to lift and transfer patients. Firstly, we simulate and analyze the specific nursing tasks and application scenarios, and determine its kinematics configuration and load capacity parameters of each joint. Then we design and fabricate the modular and low flexibility robotic joints for the prototype. To avoid the occurrence of safety accidents while lifting patients, we design a new kind of tactile skin based on the resistance characteristic of varistor materials, using which a safety control algorithm is proposed. Experiments show that it can meet the requirements of load capacity and position control accuracy, and the proposed safety control method can effectively avoid many dangerous situations.

Conventional legs for quadruped robot are facing problems such as heavy load and high energy consumption of motors. To address this challenge, this paper presents a quadruped robot leg with variable joint configuration and introduces the optimization design method of this leg. The leg can change the joint configuration during the motion of robot, which could help motors adapt ground reaction force more reasonably. The simulation results show that compared with typical leg structures, the variable configuration leg can theoretically reduce the peak torque and the energy consumption of motor to a certain extent, which might provide a possible solution for this problem.
