Abstract

Existence of disturbances in unknown environments is a pervasive challenge in robotic locomotion control. Disturbance observers are a class of unknown input observers that have been extensively used for disturbance rejection in numerous robotics applications. In this paper, we extend a class of widely-used nonlinear disturbance observers to unde-ractuated bipedal robots, which are controlled using hybrid zero dynamics-based control schemes. The proposed hybrid nonlinear disturbance observer provides the autonomous biped robot control system with disturbance rejection capabilities, while the underlying hybrid zero-dynamics based control law remains intact.
