2 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 2 2 Motivation Passive dynamic walking mechanism by Collins, Wisse, and Ruina, Mechanically demonstrates efficient, natural bipedal walking no actuation!

3 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 3 3 Powered Passive Dynamics ~7.5 W/kg 0.85 W/kg [Collins et al.]

4 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 4 4 Planar Compass-Gait Biped Many theoretical results in dynamic walking consider a biped constrained to the sagittal plane. Passive walking gaits (stable limit cycles) down shallow slopes [McGeer 1990]. Mapped to flat ground using potential shaping [Spong & Bullo].

5 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 5 5 Planar Compass-Gait Biped Many theoretical results in dynamic walking consider a biped constrained to the sagittal plane. [Goswami et al. 1999]

6 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 6 6 Decomposing Complex Motion Most 3-D bipeds do not naturally have stable limit cycles for walking. Stable limit cycles may exist in the sagittal plane. Propose: Exploit symmetries to extend these gaits to 3-D with reduction-based control, separating sagittal, lateral, and axial control problems.

7 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 7 7 Building 3-D Dynamic Gaits [ACC 2008, IJRR 2009] How does steering effect dynamic walking stability when navigating 3-D space?

8 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO 8 8 Ultimate Goal Extend the compass-gait biped into 3-D space for fast and efficient walking: Straight-ahead gaits Turning gaits Period-doubling bifurcations

11 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO Lagrangian Mechanics A mechanical system with config. space Q is described by (q, q) T Q and Lagrangian L(q, q) = K(q, q) V (q) satisfying = 1 2 qt M(q) q V (q), d dt L q L q = u Inertia matrix! M(q) q + C(q, q) q + N(q) = u

12 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO Example of Symmetry q 1 Variable is said to be cyclic if Generalized momentum p 1 = J 1 (q, q) := L q 1. L q 1 = 0. Uncontrolled E-L equations show d dt L q 1 L Conservation law: 0 q 1 = d dt p 1 = 0. p 1 is constant.

13 October 14, 2009 IROS 2009, St. Louis, MO Geometric Reduction Based on Lagrangian symmetries. In Routhian reduction, a system with config. space Q = G S has cyclic variables : q i G i L q i = 0 T Q : phase space J 1 (μ) : momentum map surface p i = J i (q, q) = μ i mod G T S : reduced phase space
