Based on a dynamical model of the planar movement of the center-of-mass, capture region is computed numerically by discretizing the state space and the set of control inputs. The proposed method is able to handle a number of practically important elements of fall avoidance such as the relation between stride length and step duration, and kinematic limitations of foot placement, which have been neglected in conventional studies for simplification. The developed fall-avoidance controller utilizes precomputed capturable regions to filter reference foot placements produced by a foot-step planner to ensure fall-avoidance with small online computation time. Capture regions computed by the proposed method are compared with the conventional ones in case studies. The performance of the proposed fall-avoidance controller is evaluated in simulations.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123320877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As humanoid robots are working in this environment, they require proper sensing and perception of such objects. Current approaches are providing mainly the perception of rigid objects, but many everyday items are non-rigid and more challenging to track due to their substantial shape variability. We want the robots to be able to grasp and manipulate thin, elongated, deformable objects. We propose a system based on the Deep Neural Network that can predict the bend angle of such objects using the single RGB image only. In our paper, we present the proposed neural network architecture used for prediction of the bending angle and finding the elongated shape in images with a cluttered background together with the dataset used for training. We observed that the proposed system even though it was trained on synthetic data was able to perform well on real data. The proposed architecture also provide us with the ability to hallucinate how the deformable pipe with any initial bend would look like when subjected to the arbitrary bend angle. Our findings have more profound consequences than the above mentioned. We were able to show that the proposed Encoder-Decoder neural network architecture has the interpretable latent vector element for describing a measurable physical bend angle. Moreover, we allow bending arrows to be situated out of the image plane. In the future work, we are planning to extend the current approach with the prediction of the full 3d shape of the elongated object from a single RGB image.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124049578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, a well-known scheme is to use Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) with reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. While various remarkable results have been reported, skill learning with physical constraints has not been sufficiently investigated. For example, when RL is employed to optimize the robot joint trajectories, the exploration noise could drive the resulting trajectory out of the joint limits. In this paper, we focus on robot skill learning characterized by joint limit avoidance, by introducing the novel Constrained Dynamic Movement Primitives (CDMPs). By controlling a set of transformed states (called exogenous states) instead of the original DMPs states, CDMPs are capable of maintaining the joint trajectories within the safety limits. We validate CDMPs on the humanoid robot iCub, showing the applicability of our approach.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126216430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have revealed that exploiting the allowable Zero Moment Point region (AZR) and Center of Mass (CoM) height variation (CoMHV) are strategies capable of improving energy performance. In general, energetic cost is evaluated by integrating the electric power of multi joints. However, this Joint-Power-based Index requires computing joint torques and velocities in advance, which usually requires time-consuming iterative procedures, especially for multi-joints robots. In this work, we propose a CoM-Acceleration-based Optimal Index (CAOI) to synthesize an energetically efficient CoM trajectory. The proposed method is based on the Linear Inverted Pendulum Model, whose energetic cost can be easily measured by the input energy required for driving the point mass to track a reference trajectory. We characterize the CoM motion for a single walking cycle and define its energetic cost as Unit Energy Consumption. Based on the CAOI, an analytic solution for CoM trajectory generation is provided. Hardware experiments demonstrated the computational efficiency of the proposed approach and the energetic benefits of exploiting AZR and CoMHV strategies.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133930454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rapid computing is also important for online planning and model transplantation. Many dynamic models for characterizing humanoids' walking have been developed, such as conventional 3 dimensional inverted pendulum (IPM), linear inverted pendulum (LIPM). This paper proposed an improved inverted pendulum model constrained on cylindrical surface (CIPM), combining the advantages of computing and energy efficiency for humanoids' walking planning. Walking patterns with different speeds can be generated by CIPM. The constraint of cylindrical surface results in low coupling between displacement variables for tested robot and the energy consumption is less than that generated based on LIPM. The advantages of CIPM over IPM and LIPM were proved by mathematic analysis, simulations of bipedal walking with different speeds.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130704902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we perform a systematic experimental study in which biped robotic gaits for traversing a sandy slope are empirically designed using Zero Moment Point (ZMP) methods. We are able to implement gaits that allow our 7 degree-of-freedom planar walking robot to ascend slopes with inclines up to 10°. Firstly, we identify a given set of kinematic parameters that meet the ZMP stability criterion for uphill walking at a given angle. We then find that further relating the step lengths and center of mass heights to specific slope angles through an interpolated fit allows for significantly improved success rates when ascending a sandy slope. Our results provide increased insight into the design, sensitivity and robustness of gaits on granular material, and the kinematic changes necessary for stable locomotion on complex media.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131213120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For robust accomplishment of such tasks, control of interaction force is important fundamental functionality. Use of joint torque sensors is the most common method for robots that realize physical interaction. However, torque sensors add weight and reduce joint stiffness which result in loss of mobility performance. In this paper, joint torque sensing using link structure strain measurement is presented. Redundant strain gauges, placed in unstructured manner, are used to measure link deformation, which are then used to estimate all 6 components of the wrench acting on a link structure. Joint torque is then extracted from this wrench, which minimizes the cross-talks of the force measurement. Redundancy enhances the measurement accuracy and realizes fault tolerant force measurement. Simulation and experimental results of the measurement concept together with the fault recovery method are presented.","PeriodicalId":433345,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE-RAS 18th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133480836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand real-world sensing and controller requirements, we perform an uncertainty analysis on the linear-inverted-pendulum (LIP)-based footstep planner.
