Variable Impedance Control for Bipedal Robot Standing Balance Based on Artificial Muscle Activation Model

The bipedal robot should be able to maintain standing balance even in the presence of disturbing forces. The control schemes of bipedal robot are conventionally developed based on system models or fixed torque-ankle states, which often lack robustness. In this paper, a variable impedance control bas...

description The bipedal robot should be able to maintain standing balance even in the presence of disturbing forces. The control schemes of bipedal robot are conventionally developed based on system models or fixed torque-ankle states, which often lack robustness. In this paper, a variable impedance control based on artificial muscle activation is investigated for bipedal robotic standing balance to address this limitation. The robustness was improved by applying the artificial muscle activation model to adjust the impedance parameters. In particular, an ankle variable impedance model was used to obtain the antidisturbance torque which combined with the ankle dynamic torque to estimate the desired ankle torque for robotic standing balance. The simulation and prototype experimentation results demonstrate that the control method improves the robustness of bipedal robotic standing balance control.
