Area of Science:

Robotics
Navigation Systems
Humanoid Robot Locomotion

Background:

Humanoid robot development requires advanced pedestrian navigation.
Wearable inertial navigation systems face limitations with drastic body movements.
Commercial inertial sensors struggle with extreme motion measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a robust pedestrian navigation method for humanoid robots.
To overcome limitations of micro-inertial measurement units (MIMUs) in dynamic conditions.
To enhance positioning accuracy and stability in complex gaits.

Main Methods:

Construction of a virtual inertial measurement unit (VIMU) using gait feature assistance.
Synchronous collection of inertial data from lower limb IMUs as training samples.
Utilizing a visual geometry group-long short term memory (VGG-LSTM) neural network to map inertial information.
Development of a virtual inertial navigation system (VINS) with error modification.

Main Results:

The VINS, combined with zero-velocity update (ZUPT), effectively reduces positioning errors.
The proposed method demonstrates superior performance in gaits exceeding sensor measurement ranges.
Enhanced accuracy and stability observed in complex gait types compared to ZUPT alone.

Conclusions:

The VIMU and VGG-LSTM based VINS offers a significant advancement in humanoid robot navigation.
The integrated error modification method improves positioning reliability in dynamic scenarios.
This approach provides a more accurate and stable solution for pedestrian navigation in challenging conditions.
