ON LINE OPTIMAL CONTROL FOR BIPED ROBOTS

This paper deals with the control of walking biped robots. An on line optimal control approach based on moving horizon strategy is developed. The problem is stated as an optimization one subject to physical coherent constraints issued from human behavior observation. The strategy is tested with a model of the BIP robot designed by INRIA.
