Zero-moment point – thirty five years of its life
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the ZMP concept and its applications in bipedal robot control over the 35 years since its introduction.
The authors review the history, mathematical definitions, calculation methods, and practical applications of ZMP in famous robots like ASIMO and HRP, demonstrating its importance.
ZMP has become a cornerstone of bipedal stability control, and many successful algorithms are based on it.
ZMP assumes full foot contact and is less accurate on slippery or soft surfaces. It also works best for slow to moderate speeds.
ZMP is used in all commercial and research humanoid robots (ASIMO, Atlas, HRP) for balance control. In the humanoid service robot project, ZMP controllers are essential for maintaining balance during walking and load carrying.
