The Study of Actual ZMP Measurement for a Biped Walking Robot Based on Force Plates Array System

In this paper, a multi-dimensional force plate array is presented and the ground reaction forces are examined. The ZMP trajectory of human subject is precisely calculated based on the Vukobratovic's ZMP definition and is a significant reference for the stability control of humanoid robot. Furthermore, the system can be used to measure the actual ZMP trajectory of a biped walking robot.
