Abstract

We show that a humanoid robot can step and walk using simple sinusoidal desired joint trajectories with their phase adjusted by a coupled oscillator model. We use the center of pressure location and velocity to detect the phase of the lateral robot dynamics. This phase information is used to modulate the desired joint trajectories. We applied the proposed control approach to our newly developed human sized hunianoid robot and a small size humanoid robot developed by Sony, enabling them to generate successful stepping and walking patterns.
