Abstract :
In order to ensure the biped robot operating stably for a long time and make it more environment-friendly and energy-saving, an efficient power management system is designed. It can support an uninterruptible power supply, charging of lithium battery, monitoring and protection of the power, multichannel DC (direct current) outputs of different voltages, etc. Besides, a charge controlling algorithm based on classical digital PID control and a new method of estimating SOC (the state of charge) are developed. With many experiments, the two are proved efficient and perfect.
