Abstract

The benefits of structure preserving algorithms for the numerical time-integration of mechanical systems, also called mechanical integrators, are widely accepted in forward dynamic simulations. However, in the field of motion planning and optimal control via direct methods, so far, these benefits have been less used. The dynamic optimisation method DMOC, does exploit the structure preserving properties of a variational integrator within an optimal control problem. This work considers the optimal control of a bipedal compass gait by modeling the double stance configuration as a transfer of contact constraints between the feet and the ground and develops a structure preserving simulation method for this context.
