BALANCE MOTION PLANNING FOR HUMANOID ROBOT BASED ON 3D INVERTED PENDULUM MODEL

Abstract

Researches on humanoid robots are alway attractive to many researchers in robotics field. One  of considerable challenges of humanoid robots is to keep balance and stability of their movement. Because a humanoid robot moves by two legs, most of time of the step period of the humanoid robot is be in one leg touching on the floor and the other leg swinging forward. This posture is similar to a three dimension (3D) inverted pendulum model. This papers presents the dynamic model of a 3D inverted pendulum model and applies to balanced motion planning for a humanoid robot. The obtained results show that the robot is able to keep balance during its movements
