الوصف: In this paper, we improve upon a method for optimal control of quadrupedal robots which utilizes a full-order model of the system. The original method utilizes offline nonlinear optimal control to synthesize a control scheme which exponentially orbitally stabilizes the closed-loop system. However, it is not able to handle the overactuated phases which frequently occur during quadrupedal locomotion as a result of the multi-contact nature of the system. We propose a modified method, which handles overactuated gait phases in a way that utilizes the full range of available actuators to minimize torque expenditure without requiring output trajectories to be modified. It is shown that the system under the proposed controller exhibits the same properties, i.e. exponential orbital stability, with the same or lower point-wise torque magnitude. A simulation study demonstrates that the reduction in torque may in certain cases be substantial.
