Compliant Robot Actuation by Feedforward Controlled Emulated Spring Stiffness.
Konferenzveröffentlichung, Bibliographie

Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Existing legged robots lack energy-inefficiency, performance and adaptivity when confronted with situations that animals cope with on a routine basis. Bridging the gap between artificial and natural systems requires not only better sensorimotor and learning capabilities but also a corresponding motion apparatus and intelligent actuators. Current actuators with online adaptable compliance pose high requirements on software control algorithms and sensor systems. We present a novel actuation mechanism and technique that allows for a virtual stiffness change of a deployed extended series elastic actuator without posing high energy requirements. The performance limits of the approach are assessed by comparing to an active and a passive compliant methodology. For this purpose we use a 2-degrees-of-freedom arm with and without periodic load representing a 2-segmented leg with and without ground contact. The simulation results indicate that the method is suited for the use in legged robots.
