Popis: Bipedal locomotion is more than dynamically stable walking. The redundant kinematic design of humanoid robots allows for complex motions in complex scenarios. One challenge of current robotic research is the exploitation of the capacities of redundant robots in real-time applications. In this paper, we present and evaluate methods for real-time motion generation of redundant robots. The proposed methods are based on a model-predictive approach. We propose and compare methods for optimization of robot motions defined by parameterized task-space trajectories and for redundancy resolution. The approaches are successfully combined in a novel algorithm. The methods are introduced with the help of a minimal model. It shows their applicability for a wide range of complex robotic systems. We apply and validate their effectiveness and their real-time character in several experiments with different environments with the humanoid robot Lola.
