轮足机器人结合轮式与足式优势,在平坦路面高效移动,在复杂地形保持稳定。然而现有轮足机器人髋关节自由度有限,影响运动性能。本文提出Whleaper,一款10自由度双足轮式机器人,每条腿具3个髋关节自由度。其类人关节结构使机器人在复杂场景中具备更强的灵活性与稳定性。通过创新机械设计、控制算法与系统实现,验证了高自由度髋关节可扩展姿态范围,改善足地接触。额外自由度提升了机动性,支持行走与滑行等多种模式,实现障碍规避。采用双控制算法,通过调控特定自由度,在仿真与实验中证明该设计显著增强稳定性与灵活性。实测展示了深蹲、快速转向、滑行避障等能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wheel-legged robots combine the advantages of both wheeled robots and legged robots, offering versatile locomotion capabilities with excellent stability on challenging terrains and high efficiency on flat surfaces. However, existing wheel-legged robots typically have limited hip joint mobility compared to humans, while hip joint plays a crucial role in locomotion. In this paper, we introduce Whleaper, a novel 10-degree-of-freedom (DOF) bipedal wheeled robot, with 3 DOFs at the hip of each leg. Its humanoid joint design enables adaptable motion in complex scenarios, ensuring stability and flexibility. This paper introduces the details of Whleaper, with a focus on innovative mechanical design, control algorithms and system implementation. Firstly, stability stems from the increased DOFs at the hip, which expand the range of possible postures and improve the robot's foot-ground contact. Secondly, the extra DOFs also augment its mobility. During walking or sliding, more complex movements can be adopted to execute obstacle avoidance tasks. Thirdly, we utilize two control algorithms to implement multimodal motion for walking and sliding. By controlling specific DOFs of the robot, we conducted a series of simulations and practical experiments, demonstrating that a high-DOF hip joint design can effectively enhance the stability and flexibility of wheel-legged robots. Whleaper shows its capability to perform actions such as squatting, obstacle avoidance sliding, and rapid turning in real-world scenarios.
