Abstract

Humanoid robots are extremely complex systems, where a multi-layer control architecture is necessary to guarantee a stable locomotion. In the lower layer, joint control has to track as finely as possible references provided by higher layers. A new approach to precisely control humanoid robot joints is presented in this paper. It is based on algebraic control techniques and on a model-free control philosophy. An online black-box identification permit to compensate neglected or uncertain dynamics, such as, on the one hand, transmission and compliance nonlinear effects, and on the other hand, network transmission delays.
