WALKING ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A walking robot and a control method thereof are provided to control stiffness of a drive unit managing the movement of legs by generating a walking pattern proper for own frequency of the walking robot. A walking robot comprises drive units, detecting units, a walking pattern generating unit(20), and a stiffness adjusting unit(25). The drive units are attached to a plurality of legs of the robot to drive each leg. The detecting units are attached to each leg to detect the movement of each leg. The walking pattern generating unit uses walking pattern control element which is set in advance to generate a walking pattern. The stiffness adjusting unit is configured to adjust stiffness of the drive unit by being interlocked with the movement of each leg driven by the walking pattern generated by the walking pattern generating unit.
