Abstract

[Abstract]: The supporting legs of legged robots form part of multiple closed kinematic chains in which antagonistic forces can pose a problem. In this paper, methods of compliance and force control are explored to resolve this. A ‘nested loop’ topology of non-linear control for pneumatic cylinders is outlined and its performance in actual implementation is reported.
