Bionic Biped Robot, THR-II
THR-II aims to imitate human locomotion on both structure
and control. THR-II has two legs, with totally 10 freedoms. The patella like
mechanism is designed to prevent knee from over rotating. The artificial
pneumatic muscles are used to actuate sagittal rotation of hip, knee, and
ankle joints, while toe joints on sagittal plane and ankle joints on frontal
plane are kept passive. The control of THR-II is based on CPG (Central
Pattern Generator), sensor-reflex, and self-stabilization. PC/104 CPU module
is used as central controller. A/D, D/A, I/O card are used to acquire sensor
data. Potentiometers are fixed on hip, knee, and ankle joints to measure
angles on real time. FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) are fixed on feet to
detect impact on ground. Accelerometer and gyroscope are fixed on shank to
measure posture of robot. The height of THR-II is 0.8m, and the weight is
5.5kg.
