Abstract

In this paper, a novel design of humanoid robot foot is proposed for uneven terrain walking. The proposed foot occupies 8-DOF, 4-DOF for pitch motions and 4-DOF for roll motions. To adapt to complex terrain with high energy efficiency, passive springs are placed at passive joints. The designed 8-DOF robot foot can absorb the influence of irregularities on the ground and unexpected disturbances. Through walking experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed foot that maintained locomotion on uneven terrain with bump.
