Project Goals ★ ZMP-Based Walking Controller ★ Sensory Inputs: •
Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) • Force/Contact Sensors
Zero-Moment Point ★ Point where the inertial and gravity moments
cancel out (i.e. the moment is zero). ★ Guarantees stability if this point is within the support polygon.
Support Polygon
Linear Inverted Pendulum ★ Models entire biped as a single
point mass located at the center of gravity (COM)
