Original abstract

The control of platform position of the walking robot consists of sensing the actual platform position and the control tasks. Regarding the robot platform position we focus our attention to two most significant issues. First issue corresponds to measuring of the robot platform attitude with respect to the direction of gravity acceleration – attitude in abbreviation. The measurement of the distance between robot platform and terrain constitutes the second issue. The method used is based on estimation of the legs landing forces vectors and subsequent evaluation of the legs landing positions through the forward kinematics of the legs with the knowledge of the particular drives positions of the legs.

Czech abstract

Snímání polohy těla kráčivého robotu lze rozdělit na několik problematik. Zde jsou popsány dvě, podle našeho názoru nejvýznamnějšími problematiky pro snímání polohy těla robotu. První problematika je měření odklonu těla robotu od osy gravitačního zrychlení, dále jen odklonu. Druhá problematika se zabývá určováním vzdálenosti těla robotu od terénu. Ta využívá přibližného určování vektoru síly došlapu jednotlivých noh a následného vyhodnocení poloh konců noh pomocí dopředné kinematiky při znalosti geometrie noh a poloh jednotlivých pohonů noh.
