In order to simplify the design method, a simple oscillator-based model is used to generate biped walking gait so that modulated sinusoidal patterns are generated. The oscillator-based biped walking gait is composed of two kinds of oscillator groups: the balance oscillator group and the movement oscillator group. One balance oscillator group and two movement oscillator groups are respectively applied to generate the oscillations of the waist and two ankles. The balance oscillator group is applied to maintain the balance of the robot. Two movement oscillator groups are applied to support and to move the robot’s body. To avoid biped robot falling while it is walking, we must let ZMP located in robot’s sole of support foot. During the gait walking, the gait trajectory planning based on linear inverted pendulum model is planned. Continuous action after a step, center of mass will be away from the support foot. At this time, the action is used as the linear inverted pendulum model.

There are two training methods in OpenCV, one is LBP and the other is HAAR. We choose LBP because the recognition efficiency is better than HAAR.
Attached file →In the localization part, we use Monte-Carlo to build our positioning system. We use particle filter with 500 particles to position our robot. The particle filter’s input is the image from the robot, and the IMU data for the turning angle. Our system divided into two parts, first part is to find the feature points of the site from the robot camera, and second part is to match the feature points with the information of the of the feature points. Finally we can get the robot position.
Attached file →In the robot behavior, our strategy divided into attacker and goalkeeper. For the attacker, we try to let our robot can know the soccer’s position and kick it to the opponent’s goal. In the attacker strategy, it can divided into three parts, the first part is the initialization strategy information; the second part is to find the position of the soccer; the third part is to walk to the soccer and kick the soccer. For the goalkeeper, This strategy divided into knowing the position of the ball and unknowing the position of the ball.
