1 1/88 On Humanoid Control Hiro Hirukawa Humanoid Robotics Group Intelligent Systems Institute AIST, Japan

2 2/88 Humanoids can move the environment for humans Implies that Walking on a flat floor and rough terrain Going up and down stairs and ladders Lying down, crawling and getting up Falling down safely and getting up Opening and closing doors Humanoids move on two, three or four feet.

3 3/88 Humanoid as a Controlled Plant A humanoid robot is a multi- link structure that is not fixed to the environment and moves in the environment and/or moves the environment by the contact force between the robot and the environment in the gravity field.

4 4/88 Humanoid Control Problem When the initial and final configurations of a humanoid robot is given, find motions of the robot that can transfer it from the initial configuration to the final configuration through a sequence of the contact states.

5 5/88 Control Algorithms Inverted Pendulum Scheme 1. Plan motions of the robot 2. Change the position of the next footprint to keep the planned configuration of the robot ZMP (Zero Moment Point) based Scheme 1. Plan a sequence of footprints. 2. Change the configuration of the robot to keep the planned sequence of the footprints

9 9/88 ZMP based Scheme [Vukobratovic and Stepanenko 1972] And more.

10 10/88 What is ZMP (Zero Moment Point)? Vukobratovic and Stepanenco, 1972 Center of Pressure ZMP NEVER leaves the support polygon! ZMP can be measured by force sensors in feet.

11 11/88 How ZMP is used? When the ZMP is inside the support polygon, the contact between the feet and the floor should be kept. When the contact is kept, the posture of the robot should be kept without falling down.

57 57/88 An Open Question Can we plan motions of humanoid robots based on the unified criterion? What the ZMP criterion can judge? The ZMP can judge if the contact should be kept without solving the equations of motions when the robot moves on a flat plane under the sufficient friction assumption.

58 58/88 Our Goal are to create a new criterion that can judge the contact stability of humanoids which may touch an arbitrary terrain with two, three or four feet, and to prove that the criterion is equivalent to ZMP in a specific case and more universal, and to claim to say Adios ZMP.
