Abstract

An obstacle avoidance method is proposed for quadruped robots by using the combination or switching of fundamental actions, which are composed of four, such as go-straight-on action, detour action, striding action, and climbing-over action. The transition of these actions is described in a finite automaton that is understandable visually in two-dimensional plane for our designer compared to any logical description. The external sensor information, provided by a monocular camera, some ultrasonic sensors and some force sensors, are utilized to change the fundamental actions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with some experiments.
