| Most of the quadrupedal robots we see today have legs that, essentially, consist of two links (see picture below). There have been a few exceptions (e.g. the MIT Cheetah 2) that used more complex linkage structures. However, in these cases, the linkage structures have typically been chosen such that 1) those links that couple degrees of freedom are very lightweight and 2) the resulting closed-loop chains exhibit the kinematics of a parallelogram – one of the few closed-loop structures for which analytical solutions are known. Therefore, in these cases, one could get away without really accounting for the closed-loop linkages in the control algorithms.
Accordingly, as far as we know, there currently does not exist any implementation of a hierarchical/prioritized whole-body controller (see the paper in the application paragraph below) that could handle general closed-loop linkage structures (for which analytical solutions typically do not exist).
Yet, the ability to control legs with arbitrary closed-loop linkages would allow for significantly more flexibility in the mechanical design of robotic legs. The introduction of additional coupled links could, for instance, be used to increase energy efficiency, reduce the envelop (avoiding collisions is the reason why robots such as Spot walk down stairs backwards), or improve the torque-to-force ratio for certain configurations. Advantages might also arise from different designs of the front and the hind legs, for instance when jumping.
We would thus like to extend hierarchical whole-body control to efficiently handle arbitrary closed-loop linkages and use it to subsequently investigate novel, improved leg designs. - Intelligent Robotics, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics, Simulation and Modelling
