Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Practical Robot Applications (TePRA) Conference Start Date: 2014, April 14 Conference End Date: 2014, April 15 Conference Location: Woburn, MA, USA To execute ladder climbing motions effectively, a humanoid robot requires a reliable estimate of stability. Traditional methods such as Zero Moment Point are not applicable to vertical climbing, and do not account for force limits imposed on end effectors. This paper implements a simple contact wrench space method using a linear combination of contact wrenches. Experiments in simulation showed ZMP equivalence on flat ground. Furthermore, the estimator was able to predict stability with four point contact on a vertical ladder. Finally, an extension of the presented method is proposed based on these findings to address the limitations of the linear combination. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
