Design and Reactive Control of walking Robots over Natural Terrain (in Spanish), 2008

Using ROBOCLIMBER, a 3 Ton quadruped walking and climbing robot, one of the largest and heaviest walking robots in the world, a research was conducted to implement stability reaction control during the generation of gaits while walking over natural terrain, detecting or avoiding obstacles while keeping the stability of the robot with a 2 Ton load.

The main research involved the design of the control architecture and the implementation of the control systems of a large dimension robot, the ROBOCLIMBER. The implementation was made from the lowest level of joint control, passing through walking strategies up to the Human Machine Interface (HMI) of the robot.
