In this paper, mathematic model of asymmetric hydraulic cylinder was es- tablished and the lift system had been simplified to a dual-cylinder system. By incorporating the load force and the displacement of each cylinder, a cross-coupled synchronized control method was pro- posed to fit each cylinder' s tracking performance and multi-cylinder' s trajectory synchronization property. The proposed method not only solved the synchronization problem when multi-cylinder had a same trajectory, but also could fit the coordinated synchronization need when different trajectories of multi-cylinder were desired. Simulations and experiments on a four DOF electrohydraulic lift sys- tem with load of 100 tons verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

To improve the ability to go over rough terrain, this paper is focused on the stable walking and balance control of quadruped robots. 24 kinds of walking gaits are analyzed in order to derive the most stable and smoothest walking gait. Considering the inefficiency to model a terrain by its specified appearance, a uniform terrain model is established and by means of kinematic analysis, a method to adjust the body posture and center of gravity (COG) height is presented. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed meth- od and the improvement of the adaptation of quadruped robots on rough terrain.展开更多
