description | When a quadruped robot is climbing stairs, due to unexpected factors, such as the size of the differing from the international standard or the stairs being wet and slippery, it may suddenly fall down. Therefore, solving the self-recovery problem of the quadruped robot after falling is of great significance in practical engineering. This is inspired by the self-recovery of crustaceans when they fall; the swinging of their legs will produce a resonance effect of a specific body shape, and then the shell will swing under the action of external force, and self-recovery will be achieved by moving the center of gravity. Based on the bionic mechanism, the kinematics model of a one-leg swing and the self-recovery motion model of a falling quadruped robot are established in this paper. According to the established mathematical model, the algorithm training environment is constructed, and a control strategy based on the reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed as a controller to be applied to the fall self-recovery of quadruped robots. The simulation results show that the quadruped robot only takes 2.25 s to achieve self-recovery through DDPG on flat terrain. In addition, we compare the proposed algorithm with PID and LQR algorithms, and the simulation experiments verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm. |
