Title
Optimal control of energetically efficient ladder decent motion with internal stress adjustment using key joint method
Abstract
For multi-contact robot motion, a closed chain is formed by robot links and the environment. This paper proposes a new methodology named “key joint method” for reducing the energy cost by adjusting an internal stress inside a closed chain. Firstly, we analyze the internal stress theoretically taking the degrees of freedom (DOF) and the number of position actuated joints into consideration, then a practical key joint method is proposed by changing a suitable redundant position controlled joint to be force control. After that, a parametric family is introduced for representing various of possible motions subjected to the robot dynamics and other constraints. Finally, a general optimization method is proposed for planning an energetically efficient multi-contact robot motion taking the motion trajectories and internal stress into consideration. As an example, the pace gait ladder decent motion is taken to explain the principle and realization of the proposed method. As experimental evaluation shows, the key joint method is effective for reducing the energy cost in the multi-contact motion.
