摘要

In this paper, a falling motion planning for humanoid robots is proposed as inspired from human falling in order to decrease the impact force significantly. Firstly, motion data of human falling are obtained from a motion track system. Then, two falling motion primitives, namely, knee bending with stretching and hip bending with stretching are identified from human falling tests. A motion strategy is used to combine the falling motion primitives in motion strategy for humanoid falling in order to minimize the impact effects. Simulations and experiments with a humanoid robot have verified the proposed falling motion strategy.
