Gait Generation using Intrinsically Stable MPC in the Presence of Persistent Disturbances (04b Atto di convegno in volume)

Smaldone F. M., Scianca N., Modugno V., Lanari L., Oriolo G.

From a control point of view, humanoid gait generation can be seen as a problem of tracking a suitable ZMP trajectory while guaranteeing internal stability. In the presence of disturbances, both these aspects are at risk, and a fall may ultimately occur. In this paper, we extend our previously proposed Intrinsically Stable MPC (IS-MPC) method, which guarantees stable tracking for the unperturbed case, to the case of persistent disturbances. This is achieved by designing a disturbance observer whose estimate is used to set up a modified stability constraint for the QP problem. The method is validated by MATLAB tests as well as dynamic simulations for a NAO humanoid in DART.
