- 基于解析公式精确建模膝踝关节非线性传动特性,计算成本低。
- 支持二阶可微分,实现在轨迹优化与强化学习中的高效应用。
- 硬件实验验证优于传统简化模型,适合现代机器人控制算法。
近年来发布的多款人形机器人(如Cassie)采用电机远离关节的布局以降低腿部惯性。尽管已有研究考虑完整运动学复杂性并证明其优势,但由此带来的环闭约束显著增加计算开销,限制了在控制与学习中的应用。因此,非线性传动常被简化为固定减速比,无法充分发挥机构潜力。本文针对两种标准膝踝并联机构,提出紧凑的解析表达式,精确捕捉非线性传动特性,同时保持计算高效。该模型支持至二阶的完全可微分,实现动态导数的低成本评估,适用于轨迹优化与强化学习中的等效传动阻抗计算。我们将该模型集成于轨迹优化与步态策略学习中,并与简化常比模型对比。硬件实验表明,新方法显著提升控制精度与鲁棒性,为将并联驱动融入现代控制算法提供了实用途径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Several recently released humanoid robots, inspired by the mechanical design of Cassie, employ actuator configurations in which the motors are displaced from the joints to reduce leg inertia. While studies accounting for the full kinematic complexity have demonstrated the benefits of these designs, the associated loop-closure constraints greatly increase computational cost and limit their use in control and learning. As a result, the non-linear transmission is often approximated by a constant reduction ratio, preventing exploitation of the mechanism's full capabilities. This paper introduces a compact analytical formulation for the two standard knee and ankle mechanisms that captures the exact non-linear transmission while remaining computationally efficient. The model is fully differentiable up to second order with a minimal formulation, enabling low-cost evaluation of dynamic derivatives for trajectory optimization and of the apparent transmission impedance for reinforcement learning. We integrate this formulation into trajectory optimization and locomotion policy learning, and compare it against simplified constant-ratio approaches. Hardware experiments demonstrate improved accuracy and robustness, showing that the proposed method provides a practical means to incorporate parallel actuation into modern control algorithms.
