Özet

This study demonstrates a cascaded model predictive control (C-MPC) method for input constrained control of underactuated planar bipedal walking with any predefined stabilizable trajectory. Our approach aims to increase the trajectory tracking performance of the system and produce realistic and applicable responses while respecting friction constraints and considering impact dynamics. Primarily focusing on zero dynamics with PD (ZD+PD) control, this proposed control method constitutes a second layer controller on top of the well-known trajectory tracking controllers for underactuated bipedal walking systems. We successfully implement this model-based controller and test against large modeling errors, noises, and disturbances, where the conventional ZD+PD control fails to maintain stability.
