[Walking] C code for walking(ZMP)

I want robot to imitate human

This is not very specific. Is there an existing hobby or professional humanoid which you consider achieves this ?

If you want to imitate human walking you should be first invesigating gait generators.

[Walking] C code for walking(ZMP)

Actually I want robot to imitate human. While imitating robot should keep balance and should not fall down. I thought applying ZMP can solve my problem. if I add ZMP to the existing gait generator Robot wont be able to immitate, right?!!
If you have any idea or suggestion, I would be very grateful.

Thank you

It is unlikely you will find walking code for Robobuilder using ZMP. The only walking code I found using ZMP is part of the UPenn DARwin code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwino ... p/download

Look in /player/motion/walk.lua. It is written in LUA, but fairly easy to read and convert to C. LUA variables are floating point by default.

Look at the tutorial to get some background:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwino ... f/download

To compare DARwin to Robobuillder joint layout:

You don't say what processor you use, you are best with a pretty fast processor and FPU for ZMP. How far did you get already without ZMP. Are you using an existing gait generator and adding ZMP for stability ?
