ABSTRACT
Robot balancing is a challenging task when it comes to legged platforms, e.g., hexapods and quadrupeds. Fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) is well established as a decision making mechanism with many applications. This study presents the very first application of FCM-based inference for autonomous balancing in standard legged robots with 3-revolute joints, i.e., three degrees of freedom (DoF) per limb. FCM has been utilized for balancing control and placement of feet instead of solving complex Jacobians.
