- 用内部飞轮调节空中姿态,解决跳跃时身体翻转问题
- 仿真显示空中最大偏转降低65%,着陆角度误差小于3.5度
- 适合在月球、小行星等低重力地形上运行的足式机器人
月球和近地小行星等低重力天体因接触力减弱和滞空时间延长,对移动方式提出特殊挑战。跳跃式移动虽高效,但易因推力不对称和地形不平导致空中姿态失稳。本文提出一种基于内部飞轮的欠驱动双足跳跃机器人,将其建模为陀螺系统,分析躯干转动与飞轮动量间的动态耦合。运动周期包括:腿部推进起跳、空中通过主动动量交换控制器稳定姿态、冲击吸收着陆三个阶段。建立简化模型以捕捉躯干旋转与飞轮动力学的关键耦合。在穆乔科(MuJoCo)中模拟月球重力条件(g = 1.625 m/s²),结果表明,激活飞轮控制器后,空中最大角偏差减少超过65%,着陆姿态误差被限制在3.5度以内,且每跳周期执行器饱和程度降低,确保充足控制裕量。该方法显著抑制飞行中的姿态扰动,实现稳定直立着陆,为非规则外星地形提供了高效可靠的移动方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Planetary bodies characterized by low gravitational acceleration, such as the Moon and near-Earth asteroids, impose unique locomotion constraints due to diminished contact forces and extended airborne intervals. Among traversal strategies, hopping locomotion offers high energy efficiency but is prone to mid-flight attitude instability caused by asymmetric thrust generation and uneven terrain interactions. This paper presents an underactuated bipedal hopping robot that employs an internal reaction wheel to regulate body posture during the ballistic flight phase. The system is modeled as a gyrostat, enabling analysis of the dynamic coupling between torso rotation and reaction wheel momentum. The locomotion cycle comprises three phases: a leg-driven propulsive jump, mid-air attitude stabilization via an active momentum exchange controller, and a shock-absorbing landing. A reduced-order model is developed to capture the critical coupling between torso rotation and reaction wheel dynamics. The proposed framework is evaluated in MuJoCo-based simulations under lunar gravity conditions (g = 1.625 m/s^2). Results demonstrate that activation of the reaction wheel controller reduces peak mid-air angular deviation by more than 65% and constrains landing attitude error to within 3.5 degrees at touchdown. Additionally, actuator saturation per hop cycle is reduced, ensuring sufficient control authority. Overall, the approach significantly mitigates in-flight attitude excursions and enables consistent upright landings, providing a practical and control-efficient solution for locomotion on irregular extraterrestrial terrains.
