| contents | This work introduces an optimization-based locomotion control framework for on-the-fly synthesis of complex dynamic maneuvers. At the core of the proposed framework is a cascaded-fidelity model predictive controller (Cafe-Mpc). Cafe-Mpc strategically relaxes the planning problem along the prediction horizon (i.e., with descending model fidelity, increasingly coarse time steps, and relaxed constraints) for computational and performance gains. This problem is numerically solved with an efficient customized multiple-shooting iLQR (MS-iLQR) solver that is tailored for hybrid systems. The action-value function from Cafe-Mpc is then used as the basis for a new value-function-based whole-body control (VWBC) technique that avoids additional tuning for the WBC. In this respect, the proposed framework unifies whole-body MPC and more conventional whole-body quadratic programming (QP), which have been treated as separate components in previous works. We study the effects of the cascaded relaxations in Cafe-Mpc on the tracking performance and required computation time. We also show that the Cafe-Mpc, if configured appropriately, advances the performance of whole-body MPC without necessarily increasing computational cost. Further, we show the superior performance of the proposed VWBC over the Riccati feedback controller in terms of constraint handling. The proposed framework enables accomplishing for the first time gymnastic-style running barrel rolls on the MIT Mini Cheetah. Video: https://youtu.be/YiNqrgj9mb8. |
