Title
A Search-Based Control Architecture For Wheel-Quadruped Robot Obstacle Negotiation
Abstract
This paper constructed a two-level hierarchical control architecture for legged locomotion when wheel groups are locked, which enables the robot to negotiate rough terrain. A novel wheel-quadruped hybrid mobile robot with parallel driving mechanism based on Stewart 6-DOF platform, the "BIT-NAZA" robot, is presented. The high-level planner selects a sequence of candidate footholds and achieves COG (center of gravity) trajectory planning, in which the graph search, optimizing approach, and best-first search are combined together. The low-level controller acquires the swing foot trajectories and COG attitude-adjusted criterion, and tracks these desired loci to steer robot obtain preferable stability margin during walking process. Otherwise, a simulated experiment is conducted to verify the controller sufficiency for traversing 3D challenging terrain with forbidden areas including ditches and stair edges.
