Abstract

This paper works with the concept of Divergent Component of Motion (DCM), also called '(instantaneous) Capture Point'. We present two real-time DCM trajectory generators for uneven (three-dimensional) ground surfaces, which lead to continuous leg (and corresponding ground reaction) force profiles and facilitate the use of toe-off motion during double support. Thus, the resulting DCM trajectories are well suited for real-world robots and allow for increased step length and step height. The performance of the proposed methods was tested in numerous simulations and experiments on IHMC's Atlas robot and DLR's humanoid robot TORO.
