Abstract
A balance control apparatus of a robot and a control method thereof. The balance control method of the robot, which has a plurality of legs and an upper body, includes detecting pose angles of the upper body and angles of the plurality of joint units, acquiring a current capture point and a current hip height based on the pose angles and the angles of the plurality of joint units, calculating a capture point error by comparing the current capture point with a target capture point, calculating a hip height error by comparing the current hip height with a target hip height, calculating compensation forces based on the capture point error and the hip height error, calculating a target torque based on the calculated compensation forces, and outputting the calculated target torque to the plurality of joint units to control balance of the robot.
