Abstract

In this paper, the tracking of the zero moment point (ZMP) trajectory for humanoid locomotion is addressed. For that, a combination of a repetitive controller (RC) and a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is proposed. The RC controller achieves a zero steady state tracking error for any periodic desired output with a fixed period. Here, the robot model is simplified as a cart table model. In the first stage, a walking pattern with constant gait is considered to allow the use of a repetitive controller. The results are then compared to a classical PD control. In the second part, the proposed controller is applied to track a desired ZMP profile generated using a central pattern generator (CPG). Here, the speed of the oscillator is adjusted via a proper selection of the parameters of the CPG and the RC design is simultaneously updated to assure the perfect tracking of the ZMP.
