Abstract

We contribute a two-phase biped walk learning approach which is developed on the Aldebaran Nao humanoid robot. In the first phase, we identify and save a complete walk cycle from the motions of the robot while it is executing a given walk algorithm as a black box. We show how the robot can then play back such a recorded cycle in a loop to obtain a good open-loop walking behavior. In the second phase, we introduce an algorithm to directly modify the recorded walk cycle using real time corrective feedback provided by a human. The algorithm learns joint movement corrections to the open-loop walk based on the corrective feedback as well as the robot's sensory readings while walking autonomously. Compared to the open-loop algorithm and hand-tuned closed-loop walking algorithms, our two-phase method provides an improvement in walking stability, as demonstrated by our experimental results.
