Abstract

A new strategy for walking robots control in uncertain environments, called Stable States Transition Approach (SSTA), is proposed in this paper. All the controls, both the steps succession and the evolution inside each step are established by the evolution environment and by the objective proposed during the evolution. There are no predetermined types of legs movements; they are on-line determined during the robot evolution, irrespective of the ground shape. To apply this strategy it was necessary the robot interpretation as a Variable Causality Dynamic Systems (VCDS). Experimental results are implemented and verified in RoPa, a platform for simulation and design of walking robot control algorithms, to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control method.
