Abstract :
Due to redundancy and natural instability of humanoid robots, their motion planning becomes a challenging task. Designing stable gaits with smooth trajectories for a humanoid robot is the main goal of this article. Taking all related parameters on robot´s walking into consideration, a new gait planning approach in the task space is developed. Various aspects like upper-body motion and stability requirements have the most significant role in this new gait planning process. In order to reduce undesired fluctuations on robot center of mass a new method in trajectory planning is also suggested. To show performance of the proposed algorithm, it is compared with another reliable approach in this field, and the results will be discussed.
