Abstract

Stability control for humanoid robots based on zero moment point (ZMP) control and impedance control are widespread. However, uncertain changes in the center of mass (CoM) height for ZMP control and specific regulation of the variable stiffness of impedance control have been challenging issues in previous studies. In this article, these two problems are solved by implementing fuzzy control-based regulations. First, the fuzzy ZMP controller, which regulates the feedback gains online based on the CoM height change and CoM tracking errors, is proposed. Second, we propose a fuzzy regulation law for variable stiffness, which is applied for uncertain contact situations and inspired by the pattern of human muscle stiffness. With these two methods, the ground adaptability for humanoid robots is enhanced. The proposed method is validated with experiments on a real robot platform, BHR-T.
