摘要
We present a controller for a quadrupedal robot statically walking on known rough terrain. The controller has both deliberative and reactive components for task specific control issues, such as impassable terrain and unmodeled foot slippage. The controller architecture supports multiple gaits, and we present both a stable onmidirectional gait and a faster directional gait. The robot successfully negotiates obstacles up to 7.5 cm (approximate to 40% leg length) tall and navigates over rocky terrain.
