Patent number: 8849452Abstract: A control system or the like capable of causing a controlled object to act in an appropriate form in view of an action purpose of the controlled object to a disturbance in an arbitrary form. Each of a plurality of modules modi, which are hierarchically organized according to the level of a frequency band, searches for action candidates which are candidates for an action form of a robot R matching with a main purpose and a sub-purpose while giving priority to a main purpose mainly under the charge of the module over a sub-purpose mainly under the charge of any other module. The actions of the robot R is controlled in a form in which the action candidates of the robot R searched for by a j-th module of a high frequency are reflected in preference to the action candidates of the robot R searched for by a (j+1)th module of a low frequency.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masanori Takeda, Mitsuhide Kuroda, Shigeru Kanzaki, Takahide Yoshiike, Takumi Kamioka

Patent number: 8793019Abstract: In a legged mobile robot 1 having legs 2, a first landing permissible region and a second landing permissible region for a desired landing position of a distal end portion (a foot 22) of a free leg are determined, and the desired landing position of the free leg foot is determined in a region where the first and second landing permissible regions overlap each other, to thereby generate a desired gait of the robot. The first landing permissible region is determined so as to satisfy a geometric leg motion requisite condition. The second landing permissible region is determined such that a motion continuity requisite condition and a floor reaction force element permissible range requisite condition that are related to a prescribed floor reaction force element as a constituent element of the floor reaction force can be satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahide Yoshiike, Masanori Takeda, Shinya Shirokura, Hiroyuki Kaneko, Tomoki Watabe

Patent number: 8417382Abstract: A desired motion determiner of a control unit of a legged mobile robot determines a leg motion parameter specifying the motion trajectory of a distal end of a leg of the robot on the basis of the information on a floor geometry of an environment in which the robot travels and a requirement related to a travel route of the robot, thereby sequentially determining the desired motion of the robot. A floor geometry information output unit which outputs floor geometry information to the desired motion determiner outputs floor geometry information in which a rising surface of a stepped portion of a predetermined type, the contact thereof with a leg of the robot should be avoided, has been shaped into a surface having a gentler slope than an actual rising surface. The desired motion determiner determines the leg motion parameter such that the leg will not come in contact with the stepped portion having the shaped rising surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahide Yoshiike, Masanori Takeda, Mitsuhide Kuroda, Tomoki Watabe

Patent number: 8311677Abstract: A control device for a legged mobile robot has a unit which generates the time series of a future predicted value of a model external force manipulated variable as a feedback manipulated variable for reducing the deviation of the posture of the robot. A desired motion determining unit sequentially determines the instantaneous value of a desired motion such that the motion of the robot will reach or converge to a reaching target in the future in the case where it is assumed that the time series of an additional external force defined by the time series of a future predicted value of the model external force manipulated variable is additionally applied to the robot on a dynamic model.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahide Yoshiike, Hiroyuki Kaneko, Atsuo Orita

Patent number: 8306657Abstract: A control device for a legged mobile robot has a first motion determiner which sequentially determines the instantaneous value of a first motion of a robot by using a first dynamic model and a second motion determiner which sequentially determines the instantaneous value of a second motion of the robot by using a second dynamic model, and sequentially determines a desired motion of the robot by combining the first motion and the second motion. A low frequency component and a high frequency component of a feedback manipulated variable having a function for bringing a posture state amount error, which indicates the degree of the deviation of an actual posture of the robot from a desired posture, close to zero are fed back to the first motion determiner and the second motion determiner, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahide Yoshiike, Hiroyuki Kaneko, Atsuo Orita

Patent number: 8204626Abstract: A control device for a mobile body makes it possible to smoothly correct the deviation of an actual posture of a base body of a mobile body, which travels with the base body thereof moving up and down, from a desired posture of the base body while restraining an overshoot or an undershoot from occurring. To determine a required manipulated variable according to a feedback control law in order to converge a state amount deviation related to the posture of the base body of the mobile body to zero, the feedback gain of the feedback control law is determined by using the time series in a period from current time to predetermined time in the future in the time series of a desired inertial force of the mobile body or the base body. The required manipulated variable is determined by the calculation of the feedback control law on the basis of the determined feedback gain and an observed value of the state amount deviation.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2010Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahide Yoshiike, Toru Takenaka, Takashi Matsumoto

Patent number: 8014896Abstract: In a legged mobile robot, a pivoting motion of a foot (22) relative to a leg is controlled such that, from an intermediate time point in a period of departure of a leg from a floor to a starting time point of a period of landing of the leg on the floor, an angle (?) of inclination of the foot (22) of the leg relative to the floor surface gradually approaches zero. This eases impact to the foot of the leg at the time of landing on the floor and prevents a slip or spin of the sole, thereby enabling stable walking or running.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Takenaka, Takashi Matsumoto, Takahide Yoshiike, Kazushi Akimoto, Shinya Shirokura, Minami Asatani
