Xpeng Motors' robot gait adjustment patent published

Aiqicha App shows that recently, Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. announced an invention patent titled “Gait Adjustment Method, Device, Equipment, and Storage Medium for Robots.”
The patent abstract indicates that the invention relates to the field of intelligent robots and discloses a gait adjustment method, device, equipment, and storage medium for robots.
The method includes: obtaining target sampling points on the foot of a humanoid robot, as well as the coordinate values and terrain elevation data corresponding to each target sampling point;
calculating the robot’s foot placement return value based on the coordinate values and terrain elevation data for each target sampling point;
obtaining the maximum terrain elevation data within a preset radius for each target sampling point, and calculating the robot’s stepping response value based on the coordinate values and the maximum terrain elevation data;
adjusting the robot’s gait based on the foot placement return value and the stepping response value.
This invention guides the humanoid robot to perform precise gait adjustments by obtaining the coordinates and terrain elevation data of target sampling points, calculating two types of return values—foot placement and stepping—thereby improving the robot’s autonomous movement adaptability and stability in complex terrains such as stairs.
