Issue with the robot walk in Gazebo

[wgtayar]

Hello,

I am working with my own custom made robot and implemented champ on it. When testing a forward walk on gazebo, the robot drifts slowly towards the right.

The kinematics and the values for the link dimensions, weight, inertias, etc. are all double checked so the issue shouldn't be from there (I hope).

I did tune the PID controller parameters in the ros_control.yaml file several times, however, the drift still persists.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I think walking off to one side is normal for both real and simulated robots. Real rovbots are never perfectly symmetric and simulations do not have infinite precision. So we have a direction controller that ass z-rototion to remove error, bAIXLLY. “direction PID”. With this, the robot can walk straight even if you intentionally make one leg shorter
