2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and biomimetics (ROBIO), 2007•ieeexplore.ieee.orgOur study aims at the design and implementation of a general controller for quadruped
locomotion, allowing the robot to use the whole range of quadrupedal gaits (ie from low
speed walking to fast running). A general legged locomotion controller must integrate both
posture control and rhythmic motion control and have the ability to shift continuously from
one control method to the other according to locomotion speed. We are developing such
general quadrupedal locomotion controller by using a neural model involving a CPG …

Our study aims at the design and implementation of a general controller for quadruped locomotion, allowing the robot to use the whole range of quadrupedal gaits (i.e. from low speed walking to fast running). A general legged locomotion controller must integrate both posture control and rhythmic motion control and have the ability to shift continuously from one control method to the other according to locomotion speed. We are developing such general quadrupedal locomotion controller by using a neural model involving a CPG (Central Pattern Generator) utilizing ground reaction force sensory feedback. We used a biologically faithful musculoskeletal model with a spine and hind legs, and computationally simulated stable stepping motion at various speeds using the neuro-mechanical system combining the neural controller and the musculoskeletal model.
