Abstract: The present disclosure provides an impedance control method for a biped robot as well as an apparatus and a biped robot using the same. The method includes: correcting an impact force on a landing leg in the two legs of the biped robot using a natural attenuation function, and taking the corrected impact force as an input of an impedance control; obtaining an impedance model of the biped robot; determining a transfer function of the impedance control based on the impedance model; calculating an output of the impedance control based on the input of the impedance control and the transfer function of the impedance control; determining a joint angle of each joint based on the output of the impedance control and a planned pose of the biped robot; and transmitting joint angle information of each joint to motor(s) of the joint to perform the impedance control.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a joint control method for a serial robot and a serial robot using the same. The method includes: performing a analysis on an end joint in the plurality of joints, and calculating the force of the previous joint acting on the end joint; performing a analysis on each of the other joints in the plurality of joints, and calculating the force of the previous joint acting on the joint; obtaining an angular velocity and an angular acceleration of each joint after obtaining the force of the previous joint acting on the joint, and calculating a torque corresponding to each joint; and projecting the torque corresponding to each joint to a motor corresponding to the joint to obtain a torque to be applied to the motor at a current time. In this manner, which improves the tracking precision of the end joint while reduces the tracking error.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot centroid position adjustment method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining initial values; obtaining a waist velocity adjustment value; calculating a current value of the centroid position; and determining whether a current value of the centroid position is equal to the planning value of the centroid position; if the current value of the centroid position is not equal to the planning value of the centroid position, obtaining the current value of the centroid position to take as an initial value of a next centroid position and returning to the step of obtaining the waist velocity adjustment value until the current value of the centroid position is equal to the planning value of the centroid position. In such a manner, the balance ability of the robot can be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an acceleration compensation method for a humanoid robot as well as an apparatus and a humanoid robot using the same. The method includes: calculating an angular acceleration of each joint and calculating a six-dimensional acceleration of a centroid of a connecting rod corresponding to the joint in an absolute world coordinate system, if the humanoid robot is in a single leg supporting state; calculating a torque required by the angular acceleration of each joint of the humanoid robot; determining a feedforward current value corresponding to the torque of each joint; and superimposing the feedforward current value on a control signal of each joint to control the humanoid robot. In this manner, the influence of the acceleration can be effectively suppressed, the rigidity of the PID controller of the humanoid robot can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the entire humanoid robot.
