Estimation and control of Zero Moment Point (ZMP) is a widely used concept for planning the locomotion of bipedal robots and is commonly measured using integrated joint angle encoders and foot force sensors. Contemporary methods for ZMP measurement involve built-in contact sensors such as joint encoders or instrumented foot force sensors. This paper presents a novel approach for computing ZMP for a humanoid robot using inertial sensor-based wireless foot sensor modules (WFSM). The developed WFSMs, strapped at different limb segments of a bipedal robot, measure lower limb joint angles in real-time. The joint angle trajectories, further transformed into cartesian position coordinates, are used for estimating the ZMP positions of humanoid robots using the planar biped model. The whole framework is presented through experimental studies for different real-life walking scenarios. Since the modules work based on the limb motion and inclination, any ground unevenness would be automatically reflected in the module output. Hence, this measurement process can be a convenient method for applications requiring humanoid control on uneven surfaces/ outdoor terrains . To compare the performance of the proposed model, ZMP is simultaneously measured from inbuilt foot force sensors and joint encoders of the robot. Statistical tests exhibit a high linear correlation between the proposed method with integrated encoders and foot force sensors (Pearson’s coefficient, r > 0.99). Results indicate that ZMP estimated by WFSM is a viable method to monitor the dynamic gait balance of a humanoid robot and has potential application in outdoor and uneven terrains

Generally, robots are initially designed via computer-aided software to obtain their parameters. However, the given parameters are not entirely true due to their unmodeled parts; therefore, system identification is needed, and physical conditions are crucial to guarantee feasible solutions. This study uses a quadratic programming regression model accompanied by physical consistency constraints and designs specific exciting motions for humanoid robots. The proposed constraints are designed based on the geometric approximation of link objects, the physically reasonable mass and inertia and the total mass of the robot being correct. The proposed exciting motions include the general walking motion and the single-leg support motion, which enable a more flexible and stable way to cause excitation in the floating-base system. The identified parameters are evaluated on the humanoid robot NINO. Furthermore, the error between the feedback information of the zero moment point and the command information of the center of mass are used for evaluating the identified dynamic parameters. According to the experiments with the proposed exciting motions, the identified parameters are found to be obviously better than the original computer-aided design parameters, especially in the [Formula: see text] direction.
