Extended Kalman Filter-Based State Estimation for Wheel-Legged Quadruped Robots
摘要
This paper introduces a state estimation framework designed for a wheel-legged quadruped robot, providing the necessary state information to the motion controller to satisfy specified control performance metrics. We propose an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for state estimation, which fuses joint encoder data with IMU measurements to estimate the robot's position, velocity, and attitude. The proposed estimation method is validated using a whole-body control framework and tested in a simulation environment on a wheeled-legged quadruped robot we developed.
