🏁 Motion state controller
The motion controller is a finite state machine that allows for static and dynamic posing, 8-phase crawl, bezier-based trot gait, and choreographed animation.
Controller Input Mapping
The controller input is interpreted differently between the modes. For walking, it looks like this:
| Controller Input | Mapped to Gait Step | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Left x joystick | Step x | -1 to 1 |
| Left y joystick | Step z | -1 to 1 |
| Right x joystick | Step angle | -1 to 1 |
| Right y joystick | Body pitch angle | -1 to 1 |
| Height slider | Body height | 0 to 1 |
| Speed slider | Step velocity | 0 to 1 |
| S1 slider | Step height | 0 to 1 |
| Stop button | E stop command | 0 or 1 |
Walking gait
General description of walking gait.

8-phase crawl gait
The 8-phase crawl gait works by lifting one leg at a time while shifting the body weight away from that leg.
As the name implies, the gait consists of 8 discrete phases, which represent which feet should be in contact with the ground or in swing.
At each time step the phase time t\in [0,1] is updated. When t\geq 1 the phase index is updated and phase time is reset.
Is derived from mike4192 spotMicro
Trot gait (12 point bezier curve)
The trot gait implements a phase time t\in[0,1], but instead of using contact phases we define a swing/stance ratio of phase time offset for each leg.
The stance controller implements a sin curve to control the depth of steps.
The swing controller implements a bezier curve using 12 control points centered around the robot leg.
Rotation is calulated using the same curve
