Patent number: 9221507Abstract: A method of controlling walking a biped robot to generate a walking pattern maximally similar to that of a human includes generating a walking pattern, calculating a walking pattern similarity corresponding to the walking pattern, and comparing the walking pattern similarity with a predetermined reference pattern similarity, and changing the walking pattern based on a result of the comparison. When the robot walks, a knee is maximally stretched and a horizontal movement of a waist is minimized such that the walking pattern of the robot is maximally similar to that of a human, thus enhancing an affinity for a human being and increasing energy efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2009Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Woong Kwon, Joong Kyung Park, Chang Hyun Roh, Jae Ho Park, Ho Seong Kwak

Patent number: 9079624Abstract: Disclosed herein are a walking robot which controls balance using an ankle when the robot walks, and a method of controlling balance thereof. In a method of determining an angle of an ankle joint without solving a complicated dynamic equation such that the robot stays balanced so as not to fall, an angle of the ground is fixed as a reference angle for balance control of the robot such that the robot stably walks while maintaining the same balance control performance even when the ground is inclined. When the robot moves slowly or quickly, the robot may maintain balance. Since the robot stays balanced using the ankle of a stance leg even when the ground is inclined, the method is simple and is applied to a robot having joints with 6 degrees of freedom.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Joong Kyung Park, Woong Kwon

Patent number: 8868239Abstract: A walking control apparatus of a robot includes joint portions provided in each of a plurality of legs of the robot, a state database to store state data of each of the legs and state data of the joint portions corresponding to the state of each of the legs, when the robot walks, a position instruction unit to store desired positions corresponding to the state data of the joint portions, an inclination sensing unit to sense an inclination of an upper body of the robot, a torque calculator to calculate torques using the inclination of the upper body and the desired positions, and a servo controller to output the torques to the joint portions to control the walking of the robot. Since the robot walks by Finite State Machine (FSM) control and torque servo control, the rotation angles of the joint portions do not need to be accurately controlled. Thus, the robot walks with low servo gain and energy consumption is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Min Hyung Lee, Woong Kwon, Kyung Shik Roh, Joong Kyung Park

Publication number: 20110172824Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for controlling stable walking of a robot based on torque. In a method of enabling stable walking by controlling torque of a hip joint portion using a Finite State Machine (FSM) without solving a complicated dynamic equation, torque of a stance leg is finally calculated using pose control torque of an upper body, pose control torque of a swing leg, and initial pose control torque of a stance leg supporting the upper body. Accordingly, the robot may stably walk with torque balance. Since gravity compensation torque is applied, a torso of the robot is not inclined and the pose of the robot is stably maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2010Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Joong Kyung PARK, Kyung Shik Roh, Woong Kwon, Min Hyung Lee, Ho Seong Kwak
