<chapter style="counter-reset: chapter 4"><h1>Highly-articulated Legged
Robots</h1>
<p>The passive dynamic walkers and hopping robots described in the last
chapter capture the fundamental dynamics of legged locomotion -- dynamics
which are fundamentally nonlinear and punctuated by impulsive events due to
making and breaking contact with the environment. But if you start reading
the literature on humanoid robots, or many-legged robots like quadrupeds, then
you will find a quite different set of ideas taking center stage: ideas like
the "zero-moment point" and footstep planning. The goal of this chapter is to
penetrate that world.</p>
<section><h1>Centroidal dynamics</h1>
<p>Perhaps one of the most surprising thing about the world of complex
(highly-articulated) legged robots is the dominant use of simple models for
estimation, planning, and control. These abstractions become valuable when
you have enough degrees of freedom to move your feet independently (to an
extent) from how you move your body.</p>
<p>Let's start the discussion with a model that might seem quite far from
the world of legged robots, but I think it's a very useful way to think
about the problem.</p>
<subsection><h1>A spacecraft model</h1>
<figure><img width="70%" src="figures/zmp_thrusters.svg"/></figure>
<p>Imagine you have a flying vehicle modeled as a single rigid body in a
gravity field with some number of force "thrusters" attached. We'll
describe the configuration of the vehicle by its orientation, $\theta$ and
the location of its center of mass $(x,z)$. The vector from the center of
mass to thruster $i$ is given by $r_i$, yielding the equations of motion:
\begin{align*} m\ddot{x} =& \sum_i F_{i,x},\\ m\ddot{z} =& \sum_i F_{i,z}
- mg,\\ I\ddot\theta =& \sum_i \left[ r_i \times F_i \right]_y,
\end{align*} where I've used $F_{i,x}$ to represent the component of the
force in the $x$ direction and have taken just the $y$-axis component of
the cross product on the last line. </p>
<p>Our goal is to move the spacecraft to a desired position/orientation
and to keep it there. If we take the inputs to be $F_i$, then the
dynamics are affine (linear plus a constant term). As such, we can
stabilize a stabilizable fixed point using a change of coordinates plus
LQR or even plan/track a desired trajectory using time-varying LQR. If I
were to add additional linear constraints, for instance constraining
$F_{min} \le F_i \le F_{max}$, then I can still use linear
model-predictive control (MPC) to plan and stabilize a desired motion. By
most accounts, this is a relatively easy control problem. (Note that it
would be considerably harder if my control input or input constraints
depend on the orientation, $\theta$, but we don't need that here yet).</p>
<p>Now imagine that you have just a small number of thrusters (let's say
two) each with severe input constraints. To make things more
interesting, let us say that you're allowed to move the thrusters, so
$\dot{r}_i$ becomes an additional control input, but with some important
limitations: you have to turn the thrusters off when they are moving
(e.g. $|F_i||\dot{r}_i| = 0$) and there is a limit to how quickly you can
move the thrusters $|\dot{r}|_i \le v_{max}$. This problem is now a lot
more difficult, due especially to the fact that constraints of the form
$xy = 0$ are non-convex (the red area in the illustration below represents the feasible set).</p> <center><img width="25%"
src="figures/complementarity_constraint.svg"/></center> <p>I find this a
very useful thought exercise; somehow our controller needs to make an
effectively discrete decision to turn off a thruster and move it. The
framework of optimal control should support this - you are sacrificing a
short-term loss of control authority for the long-term benefit of having
the thruster positioned where you would like, but we haven't developed
tools yet that deal well with this discrete plus continuous decision
making. We'll need to address that here.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, although the problem is already difficult, we need a
few more constraints to make it relevant for legged robots. Now let's
say additionally, that the thrusters can only be turned on in certain
locations, as cartooned here:</p> <center><img width="70%"
src="figures/zmp_thrusters_w_regions.svg"/></center> <p>The union
of these regions need not form a convex set. Furthermore, these
locations could be specified in the robot frame, but may also be
specified in the world frame, which I'll call ${\bf p}_i$: $${\bf p}_i =
{\bf r}_i - \begin{bmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{bmatrix}.$$ This problem
still feels like it should be tractable, but it's definitely getting
more difficult.</p>
</subsection>
<subsection><h1>Robots with (massless) legs</h1>
<p>In my view, the spacecraft with thrusters problem above is a central
component of the walking problem. If we consider a walking robot with
massless legs, then the feet are exactly like movable thrusters. As
above, they are highly constrained - they can only produce force when
they are touching the ground, and (typically) they can only produce
forces in certain directions, for instance as described by a "friction
cone" (you can push on the ground but not pull on the ground, and with
Coulomb friction the forces tangential to the ground must be smaller than
the forces normal to the ground, as described by a coefficient of
friction, e.g. $|F_{\parallel}| < \mu |F_{\perp}|$).</p>
<figure><img width="50%" src="figures/hovercraftLegs.svg"/></figure>
<p>The constraints on where you can put your feet / thrusters will depend
on the kinematics of your leg, and the speed at which you can move them
will depend on the full dynamics of the leg -- these are difficult
constraints to deal with. But the actual dynamics of the rigid body are
actually still affine, and still simple!</p>
</subsection>
<subsection><h1>Capturing the full robot dynamics</h1>
<p>We don't actually need to have massless legs for this discussion to
make sense. If we use the coordinates $x,z$ to describe the location of
the center of mass (CoM) of the entire robot, and $m$ to represent the
entire mass of the robot, then the first two equations remain unchanged.
The center of mass is a configuration dependent point, and does not have
an orientation, but one important generalization of the orientation
dynamics is given by the centroidal momentum matrix, $A(\bq)$, where
$A(\bq)\dot{\bq}$ captures the linear and angular momentum of the robot
around the center of mass <elib>Orin13</elib>. Note that the center of
mass dynamics are still affine -- even for a big complicated humanoid --
but the centroidal momentum dynamics are nonlinear.</p>
</subsection>
<subsection><h1>Impact dynamics</h1>
<p>In the previous chapter we devoted relatively a lot of attention to
dynamics of impact, characterized for instance by a guard that resets
dynamics in a hybrid dynamical system. In those models we used impulsive
ground-reaction forces (these forces are instantaneously infinite, but
doing finite work) in order to explain the discontinuous change in
velocity required to avoid penetration with the ground. This story can be
extended naturally to the dynamics of the center of mass.<p>
<p>For an articulated robot, though, there are a number of possible
strategies for the legs which can affect the dynamics of the center of
mass. For example, if the robot hits the ground with a stiff leg like the
rimless wheel, then the angular momentum about the point of collision will
be conserved, but any momentum going into the ground will be lost.
However, if the robot has a spring leg and a massless toe like the SLIP
model, then no energy need be lost.</p>
<p>One strategy that many highly-articulated legged robots use is to keep
their center of mass at a constant height, $$z = c \quad \Rightarrow \quad
\dot{z} = \ddot{z} = 0,$$ and minimize their angular momentum about the
center of mass (here $\ddot\theta=0$). Using this strategy, if the
swinging foot lands roughly below the center of mass, then even with a
stiff leg there is no energy dissipated in the collision - all of the
momentum is conserved. This often (but does not always) justify ignoring
the impacts in the center of mass dynamics of the system.</p>
</subsection>
</section> <!-- end COM dynamics -->
<section><h1>The special case of flat terrain</h1>
<p>While not the only important case, it is extremely common for our robots
to be walking over flat, or nearly flat terrain. In this situation, even if
the robot is touching the ground in a number of places (e.g., two heels and
two toes), the constraints on the center of mass dynamics can be summarized
very efficiently.</p>
<figure>
<img width="80%" src="figures/flat_terrain.svg"/>
<figcaption>External forces acting on a robot pushing on a flat ground</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>First, on flat terrain $F_{i,z}$ represents the force that is normal to
the surface at contact point $i$. If we assume that the robot can only push
on the ground (and not pull), then this implies $$\forall i, F_{i,z} \ge 0
\Rightarrow \sum_i F_{i,z} \ge 0 \Rightarrow \ddot{z} \ge -g.$$ In other
words, if I cannot pull on the ground, then my center of mass cannot
accelerate towards the ground faster than gravity.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if we use a Coulomb model of friction on the ground, with
friction coefficient $\mu$, then $$\forall i, |F_{i,x}| \le \mu F_{i,z}
\Rightarrow \sum_i |F_{i,x}| \le \mu \sum_i F_z \Rightarrow |\ddot{x}| \le
\mu (\ddot{z} + g).$$ For instance, if I keep my center of mass at a
constant height, then $\ddot{z}=0$ and $|\ddot{x}| \le \mu g$; this is a
nice reminder of just how important friction is if you want to be able to
move around in the world.</p>
<p>Even better, let us define the "center of pressure" (CoP) as the point on
the ground where $$x_{cop} = \frac{\sum_i p_{i,x} F_{i,z}}{\sum_i
F_{i,z}},$$ and since all $p_{i,z}$ are equal on flat terrain, $z_{cop}$ is
just the height of the terrain. It turns out that the center of pressure is
a "zero-moment point" (ZMP) -- a property that we will demonstrate below --
and moment-balance equation gives us a very important relationship between
the location of the CoP and the dynamics of the CoM: \[ (m\ddot{z} + mg)
(x_{cop} - x) = (z_{cop} - z) m\ddot{x} - I\ddot\theta. \] If we use the
strategy proposed above for ignoring collision dynamics, $\ddot{z} =
\ddot{\theta} = 0$, then we have $z - z_{cop}$ is a constant height $h$, and
the result is the famous "ZMP equations": \[ \ddot{x} = -\frac{g}{h}
(x_{cop}-x). \] So the location of the center of pressure completely
determines the acceleration of the center of mass, and vice versa! What's
more, this relationship is affine -- a property that we can exploit in a
number of ways. </p>
<p> As an example, we can easily relate constraints on the CoP to
constraints on $\ddot{x}$. It is easy to verify from the definition that the
CoP must live inside the <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull">convex hull</a> of the
ground contact points. Therefore, if we use the $\ddot{z}=\ddot\theta=0$
strategy, then this directly implies strict bounds on the possible
accelerations of the center of mass given the locations of the ground
contacts.</p>
<subsection><h1>An aside: the zero-moment point
derivation</h1>
<p>The zero-moment point (ZMP) is discussed very frequently in the current
literature on legged robots. It also has an unfortunate tendency to be
surrounded by some confusion; a number of people have defined the ZMP is
slightly different ways (see e.g. <elib>Goswami99</elib> for a summary).
Therefore, it makes sense to provide a simple derivation here.</p>
<p>First let us recall that for rigid body systems I can always summarize
the contributions from many external forces as a single <i>wrench</i>
(force and torque) on the object -- this is simply because the $F_i$ terms
enter our equations of motion linearly. Specifically, given any point in
space, $r$, in coordinates relative to $(x,z)$:</p> <figure><img
width="70%" src="figures/zmp_derivation.svg"/></figure> <todo>update
diagram to have r instead of p</todo>
<p>I can re-write the equations of motion as \begin{align*} m\ddot{x} =&
\sum_i F_{i,x} = F_{net,x},\\ m\ddot{z} =& \sum_i F_{i,z} - mg =
F_{net,z} - mg,\\ I\ddot\theta =& \sum_i \left[ r_i \times F_i \right]_y
= ({\bf r} \times {\bf F}_{net})_y + \tau_{net}, \end{align*} where ${\bf
F}_{net} = \sum_i {\bf F}_i$ and the value of $\tau_{net}$ depends on the
location ${\bf r}$. For some choices of ${\bf r}$, we can make
$\tau_{net}=0$. Examining \[ ({\bf r} \times {\bf F}_{net})_y = r_z
F_{net,x} - r_x F_{net,z} = \left[ r_i \times F_i \right]_y, \] we can
see that when $F_{net,z} > 0$ there is an entire line of solutions, $r_x
= a r_z + b$, including one that will intercept the terrain. For walking
robots, it is this point on the ground from which the external wrench can
be described by a single force vector (and no moment) that is the famous
"zero-moment point" (ZMP). Substituting the equations of motion into
this equation to replace the individual terms of $F_{net}$, we can see
that \[ r_x = \frac{r_z m \ddot{x} - I \ddot\theta}{m\ddot{z} + mg}. \]
If we assume that $\ddot{z}=\ddot{\theta}=0$ and replace the relative
coordinates with the global coordinates ${\bf r} = {\bf p} - [x,0,z]^T$,
then we arrive at precisely the equation presented above.</p>
<p>Furthermore, since \[\left[ r_i \times F_i \right]_y = \sum_i \left(
r_{i,z} F_{i,x} - r_{i,x} F_{i,z} \right), \] and for <i>flat terrain</i>
we have \[ r_z F_{net,x} = \sum_i r_{i,z} F_{i,x}, \] then we can see that
this ZMP is exactly the CoP: \[ r_x = \frac{\sum_i r_{i,x} F_{i,z}}{
F_{net,z} }. \] </p>
<p>In three dimensions, we solve for the point on the ground where
$\tau_{net,y} = \tau_{net,x} = 0$, but allow $\tau_{net,z} \ne 0$ to
extract the analogous equations in the $y$-axis: \[ r_y = \frac{r_z m
\ddot{y} - I \ddot\theta}{m\ddot{z} + mg}. \] </p>

<exercise><h1>Footstep Planning via Mixed-Integer Optimization</h1>
<p>In this exercise we implement a simplified version of the footstep
planning method proposed in <elib>Deits14a</elib>. You will find all the
details <script>document.write(notebook_link('footstep_planning', deepnote['exercises/humanoids'], link_text='this python notebook'))</script>.
Your goal is to code most of the components of the mixed-integer program
at the core of the footstep planner:</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>The constraint that limits the maximum step length.</li>
<li>The constraint for which a foot cannot be in two stepping stones at
the same time.</li>
<li>The constraint that assigns each foot to a stepping stone, for each
step of the robot.</li>
<li>The objective function that minimizes the sum of the squares of the
step lengths.</li>
</ol>
</exercise>
<exercise><h1>Understanding the zero moment point</h1>

<figcaption>External forces acting on a robot pushing on a flat ground</figcaption>
</figure>
Consider an abstracted legged robot. The foot and the leg are assumed to be massless. Suppose there is no actuator at the pin joint P
<ol type = "a">
<li>
Is the system stable at $\theta = \pi/2 + 10^{-3}$?
</li>
<li>
Compute the zero moment point on the ground as a function of $\theta$ and the constants $m, h, g, l, L_{1}, L_{2}$ (if needed).
</li>
<li>
<ol type = i>
<li>
For what value of $\theta$ does the ZMP reach the toe $T$?
</li>
<li>
For what value of $\theta$ does the heel $H$ of the robot begin to lift?
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Suppose now that there is an actuator at the ankle with a controller capable of perfectly cancelling the torque around $P$ due to gravity so $\ddot{\theta} = 0$. What value of $\theta$ can you achieve without falling down? Express your answer in terms of the constants $m, h, l, L_{1}, L_{2}$ (if needed).
</li>
<li>
Suppose you are designing a foot that maximizes the postures you can assume without falling down. Suppose we can apply a torque at the ankle without torque limits.<ol type = i>
<li>
Would you want a taller or flatter foot?
</li>
<li>
Would you want a longer or shorter foot?
</li>
<li>
Where would you put the ankle with respect to the heel and toe?
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Suppose you are designing a robot designed to only walk forward. Suppose we can apply a torque at the ankle without torque limits.
<ol type = i>
<li>
Explain the trade offs in foot height.
</li>
<li>
Explain the trade offs in the design of $L_{1}$.
</li>
<li>
Explain the trade offs in the design of $L_{2}$.
</li>
