Abstrakt: Biped locomotion has attracted much attention in recent years. The most successful implemented methods in this area are based on two approaches, central pattern generator (CPG) and zero moment point (ZMP). Unfortunately, neither of these concepts can solely solve the movement challenge completely. In this study, we introduce a hybrid controller to combine the advantages of these methods. The proposed controller is based on two major approaches, CPG and ZMP. This hybrid controller is composed of a trajectory control system and a trajectory generator system. The trajectory control system applied to keep the robot stable uses ZMP as a real time control feedback. The trajectory generator system, which is composed of nonlinear oscillators, generates stable motions. The parameters of CPG are tuned by a new two-stage approach using differential evolution (DE) and bees algorithm (BA). Furthermore, performance of the proposed controller is verified using the robotic simulation software Webots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
