TL;DR: The performance and applicability of the proposed method are illustrated both through simulation and real-time control of a humanoid robot developed by the Humanoid Group at Singapore Polytechnic.
Abstract: Penalty kicking is a specific task for humanoid robots, which is defined by the robotic soccer community. An effective and powerful kicking is a challenging task because of balance. During the period of kicking, the kicking leg moves very quickly and therefore the dynamics should not be ignored. Furthermore, during the kicking, the center of gravity of the robot moves to the front. These two factors greatly influence the balance of the humanoid robot. In this paper, we keep the robot balanced through adjusting the stance leg's ankle joint, both the dynamics and CG changes are considered. The performance and applicability of the proposed method are illustrated both through simulation and real-time control of a humanoid robot developed by the Humanoid Group (www.robo-erectus.org) at Singapore Polytechnic.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bipedal exoskeleton suit with eight degrees of freedom was designed to assist over ground gait for paraplegic the person who have suffered from spinal cord injury.
Abstract: This project is to design and develop a robotic exosuit intended to assist over ground gait for paraplegic the person who have suffered from spinal cord injury. This robotic suit is giving wheelchair users the chance to walk. Almost fully encasing the bottom half, they hold the legs in place while they walk from place to place, controlled by a small joystick at waist height. Compared to previous soft exoskeleton suit, this device is a very powerful tool which resulting in high mechanical efficiency for steady walk and even it enables the navigation of stairs and slopes safely. This device is a bipedal exoskeleton suit with eight degrees of freedom which can give acceleration to the patient’s hip, knee and ankle. It is designed to implement different control strategies like walk forward, turn left and turn right. The interface between the user and the device can be controlled through mems sensor or joystick. It does not require crutches or a walking frame to provide stability, leaving the hands free.

TL;DR: Due to its unique posture stability control, the Honda humanoid robot is able to maintain its balance despite unexpected complications such as uneven ground surfaces and to perform simple operations via wireless teleoperation.
Abstract: In this paper, we present the mechanism, system configuration, basic control algorithm and integrated functions of the Honda humanoid robot. Like its human counterpart, this robot has the ability to move forward and backward, sideways to the right or the left, as well as diagonally. In addition, the robot can turn in any direction, walk up and down stairs continuously. Furthermore, due to its unique posture stability control, the robot is able to maintain its balance despite unexpected complications such as uneven ground surfaces. As a part of its integrated functions, this robot is able to move on a planned path autonomously and to perform simple operations via wireless teleoperation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have developed five kinds of biped locomotive robots, named BIPER-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are all statically unstable but can perform a dynamically stable walk with suitable control.
Abstract: The authors have developed five kinds of biped locomotive robots so far. They are named BIPER-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. All of them are statically unstable but can perform a dynamically stable walk with suitable control. BIPER-1 and BIPER-2 walk only sideways. BIPER-3 is a stilt-type robot whose foot contacts occur at a point and who can walk sideways, back ward, and forward. BIPER-4's legs have the same degrees of freedom as human legs. BIPER-5 is similar to BIPER-3, but in the case of BIPER-5 all apparatus, such as the computer, are mounted on it.This paper deals with the control theory used for BIPER-3 and BIPER-4. In both cases, basically the same control method is applied. The most important point is that the mo tion of either robot during the single-leg support phase can be approximated by the motion of an inverted pendulum. Ac cordingly, in this paper, dynamic walk is considered to be a series of inverted-pendulum motions with appropriate condi tions of connection.

TL;DR: Digital computer simulations of toe landing are presented and the action of plantar fascia during toe landing is represented by a spring and dashpot pair.
Abstract: A biped system is subjected to an instant velocity change at the moment of impact with the environment. This instant velocity change is derived as a function of the biped state and the contact speed. The effects of the impact on the state, as well as on the constraints, are studied in biped landing on heels and toes simultaneously or on toes first. The control strategy that is called for in this case is zero final velocities and a somewhat arbitrary final position. Rate feedback and nonlinear position feedback are used for stability. The action of plantar fascia during toe landing is represented by a spring and dashpot pair. The arch of the foot is prevented by this action from collapsing. Digital computer simulations of toe landing are presented.
