Abstract
A bipedal robot should be robust and able to move in various directions on stairs. However, up to date many research studies have been focusing on walking in the up or down direction only. Therefore, a strategy to realize walking along a step is investigated. In conventional methods, CoM is moved up or down during walking in this situation. In this paper, a method named as Dual Length Linear Inverted Pendulum Method (DLLIPM) with Newton-Raphson is proposed for 3-D biped robot walking. The proposed method applies different length of pendulum at left and right legs in order to represent the CoM height. By using the proposed method, maximum impact forces are reduced. From the Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) data obtained in the simulations, the validity of the proposed method is confirmed.
