Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a computational efficient balance control algorithm developed for a lightweight biped. A LIP model of the robot is combined with the ZMP calculation to derive a joint space control action based on a PD controller. Furthermore, a method is implemented to estimate the ZMP directly from the center of pressure measured using the force sensors installed under the feet of the robot. This, allows a real time implementation of the controller without using the robot direct kinematics, reducing model inaccuracies and improving the controller reactivity. Simulation results and tests on the real robot prototype shows that the control system is able to compensate for external disturbances forces up to 10N reducing the oscillations of 60%.
