One-leg lifting method for humanoid robots based on SOPC design

Abstract

An one-leg lifting method for the humanoid robot based on SOPC design is proposed in this paper. Four pressure sensors are mounted on each foot for calculating the center of the robot's mass. In order to speed up the calculating time, the purposed method is implemented on a System On a Programmable Chip (SOPC). The proposed method uses the determined value of the center of the mass to adjust the rotation of the robot's joint. During the robot is lifting its leg, the center of the mass will be keep inside of the support foot. The practical experiment illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed system.
