Base Pose Control Graph- A pose control graph used to provide the basic cyclic control


for a desired periodic motion.


Regulation Variable (RV)- A scalar function of system state chosen to represent a key

feature in the overall motion of an articulated figure.

A set of regulation variables

essentially form a reduced order model of the system.

Regulation variables are

controlled in order to achieve some desired change in the overall motion for a figure.

Qdis used to denote the desired (or target) value of an RV. Q*represents the final

controlled value of the RV.


Linear Parametric Perturbation (LPP)- A fixed PCG multiplied by a scaling factor and

added to a base PCG.

LPPs are used to achieve desired changes in the regulation

variables or variations in the overall motion of the base PCG.


Superposition (SP) sampling- A sampling strategy for constructing a model to balance

one step of a walk.

Using SP sampling, the biped is balanced in the sagittal and

coronal planes independently and then the results are combined.


Forward-then-lateral (F-L) sampling- A strategy for constructing a model to balance

one step of a walk.

Using F-L sampling, the biped is first balanced in the sagittal

plane and then the results of this operation are used to balance the biped in the

coronal plane.


Lateral-then-forward (L-F) sampling- A strategy for constructing a model to balance


one step of a walk. L-F sampling is similar to F-L sampling except that the biped is

balanced first in the coronal plane and then in the sagittal plane.
