Locomotion of LAURON III in rough terrain

Bernd Gassmann; Kay-Ulrich Scholl; K. Berns

In particular the advantages of legged compared to wheeled locomotion arise in unstructured, uneven and rough terrain. Based on the sensor system the behaviour control of LAURON III for walking in rough terrain is presented in this paper. To cope with terrain irregularities local behaviours like collision reaction and searching for ground are realised by an adaptation of the basic leg trajectories. Several global behaviours like the control of the body height and the centre of gravity influence the trajectories of all legs simultaneously.

Learning a reactive posture control on the four-legged walking machine BISAM

Jan Albiez; Winfried Ilg; Tobias Luksch; K. Berns; Rüdiger Dillmann

Presents methods and experiments of adaptive posture control for a four legged walking machine. Starting from the analysis of the implemented movement behaviour of BISAM we identify adequate tasks for adaptive control components and present adaptive posture control mechanisms for statically stable and dynamically stable movements. The reflex-based posture control is implemented via fuzzy control and reinforcement learning. The integration of the posture control in the control architecture is also described.
