P13201 Design Review Humanoid Robot Platform
WebotsRobot Model Benefits of WEBOTS • Physics engine • Simulation of full DOF humanoid • Simulation of sensor input • Control software in MATLAB • Dynamic force modelling
Model use in Design • Design aid for finding required servo/joint strength • To design control algorithms with sensor input long before a physical hardware is available. • Design Inverse Kinematics Algorithm • Design Zero Moment Point Algorithm • Test viable walking gaits • Test strategies for fall recovery. • Control code very similar to code implemented in hardware controller.
Humanoid Robot Model • 24 DOF • 6 DOF legs • 4 DOF arms • 2 DOF torso • Height of 0.74m • Humanoid proportions • Simulated sensors • Gyro • Compass • Accelerometer • Camera • Force sensors • Proximity sensors
USE case simulations • Static force simulations not adequate • Additional forces, torques from body generated during dynamic motions. • High stress motions simulated to find maximum torque values. • Springs, max servo torques simulated to test adequacy of hardware. • Torque measured on all joints in real time. • Cases Simulated: • 2 sec. Crouch motion – stress on leg, knee joints • Splayed feet pose- stress on side leg side foot. • Fall recovery – stress on arms, body, legs.
