ICRA20 Presentation LQR-Assisted Whole-Body Control of a Wheeled Bipedal Robot with Kinematic Loops Ascento 2020-06-03 | This video presents "LQR-Assisted Whole-Body Control of a Wheeled Bipedal Robot with Kinematic Loops" published in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) and presented at the virtual 2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Paris, France.Abstract — We present a hierarchical whole-body controller leveraging the full rigid body dynamics of the wheeled bipedal robot Ascento. We derive closed-form expressions for the dynamics of its kinematic loops in a way that readily generalizes to more complex systems. The rolling constraint is incorporated using a compact analytic solution based on rotation matrices. The non-minimum phase balancing dynamics are accounted for by including a linear-quadratic regulator as a motion task. Robustness when driving curves is increased by regulating the lean angle as a function of the zero-moment point. The proposed controller is computationally lightweight and significantly extends the rough-terrain capabilities and robustness of the system, as we demonstrate in several experiments.paper: https://www.ascento.ethz.ch/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/LQR_Assisted_Whole_Body_Control_for_a_Wheeled_Bipedal_Robot_with.pdfpaper video: youtu.be/nGu2odkB5wsproject website: https://www.ascento.ethz.chDOI: 10.1109/LRA.2020.2979625Chapters:0:00 Introduction0:30 Motivation1:37 Modeling3:07 Control5:35 Balancing Robustness Experiment5:59 Adaptive Legs Experiment6:19 Curve Leaning Experiment6:50 Indoor Parkour7:12 Disturbance Rejection7:35 Terrain Driving7:46 More Info

Ascento at Maker Faire Berlin 2019 Ascento 2020-04-10 | A little throwback to last year, for these difficult times we're all facing right now...On May 17th 2019 the latest Ascento prototype made its way up to the Maker Faire in Berlin for an other public demonstration. Our prototype Tina met a lot of very interesting makers, had an Interview with the German TV (ZDF, 3min 14sec: https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/hallo-deutschland/blond-nachgefragt-maker-faire-messe-100.html), a live demonstration in an old cinema and practiced some stair jumping.Thanks again Maker Faire Berlin for organizing everything and we hope to be back soon!Check out the Maker Faire Berlin: https://maker-faire.de/maker/ascento-indoor-mobility-robot/Track: Flavour — Wataboi [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library Plus

Ascento: A Two-Wheeled Jumping Robot (ICRA 2019) Ascento 2019-02-20 | This video accompanies "Ascento: A Two-Wheeled Jumping Robot" presented at the 2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Montreal, Canada.Abstract — Applications of mobile ground robots demand high speed and agility while navigating in complex indoor environments. These present an ongoing challenge in mobile robotics. A system with these specifications would be of great use for a wide range of indoor inspection tasks. This paper introduces Ascento, a compact wheeled bipedal robot that is able to move quickly on flat terrain, and to overcome obstacles by jumping. The mechanical design and overall architecture of the system is presented, as well as the development of various controllers for different scenarios. A series of experiments with the final prototype system validate these behaviors in realistic scenarios.paper: https://www.ascento.ethz.ch/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/AscentoPaperICRA2019.pdf project website: https://www.ascento.ethz.chDOI: 10.1109/ICRA.2019.8793792Chapters:0:00 Introduction0:17 Mechanical Design1:15 Modeling and Control1:43 Stabilizing Performance1:57 Jumping2:08 Controlled Resting & Fall Recovery2:25 Experimental Features2:37 Conclusion

Ascento - The Jumping Robot Ascento 2018-05-31 | Project Ascento has been run by a team of 9 Bachelor students at ETH Zurich. Over the course of 9 months, we have conceived, designed and manufactured a robot that is capable of climbing stairs by jumping up steps. Also very quick on his wheels, the robot shows unprecedented indoor manoeuvrability and mobility.Shot and edited by Nicola Küng (youtube.com/user/Nicizify).Find out more about Project Ascento on our website: https://www.ascento.ethz.chAnd follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/ascentoethz
