An MPC-DCM Control Method for a Forward-Bending Biped Robot Based on Force and Moment Control

For a forward-bending biped robot with 10 degrees of freedom on its legs, a new control framework of MPC-DCM based on force and moment is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the Diverging Component of Motion (DCM) is a stability criterion for biped robots based on linear inverted pendulum, and Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an optimization solution strategy using rolling optimization. In this paper, DCM theory is applied to the state transition matrix of the system, combined with simplified rigid body dynamics, the mathematical description of the biped robot system is established, the classical MPC method is used to optimize the control input, and DCM constraints are added to the constraints of MPC, making the real-time DCM approximate to a straight line in the walking single gait. At the same time, the linear angle and friction cone constraints are considered to enhance the stability of the robot during walking. In this paper, MATLAB/Simulink is used to simulate the robot. Under the control of this algorithm, the robot can reach a walking speed of 0.75 m/s and has a certain anti-disturbance ability and ground adaptability. In this paper, the Model-H16 robot is used to deploy the physical algorithm, and the linear walking and obstacle walking of the physical robot are realized.
