Abstract

This paper designs an implementation of model predictive control (MPC) to make quadruped robots walk on unstructured terrain with crawling gait. A dynamic model of quadruped robot is built by a method based on the ground reaction force with floating base model. Linearization and discretization are used to achieve convexity of the trajectory tracking problem. The topographic map obtained by the vision of the quadruped robot and the expected pose of the robot under the crawling gait are calculated with MPC. Experimental results show control of crawling gait in situations such as climbing slopes and stairs and demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy.
