An example implementation involves receiving measurements from an inertial sensor coupled to the robot and detecting an occurrence of a foot of the legged robot making contact with a surface. The implementation also involves reducing a gain value of an amplifier from a nominal value to a reduced value upon detecting the occurrence. The amplifier receives the measurements from the inertial sensor and provides a modulated output based on the gain value. The implementation further involves increasing the gain value from the reduced value to the nominal value over a predetermined duration of time after detecting the occurrence. The gain value is increased according to a profile indicative of a manner in which to increase the gain value of the predetermined duration of time. The implementation also involves controlling at least one actuator of the legged robot based on the modulated output during the predetermined duration of time.

A method for operating a controller apparatus for controlling a drive apparatus having a load moment and a moment of inertia, includes determining an estimated load value of the load moment by a load moment estimator during a constant-running phase, when a drive speed of the drive apparatus is kept to a constant setpoint value by the controller apparatus, using a model to describe an association between the moment of inertia and the load moment and generating an estimated inertia value of the moment of inertia as a pilot control of the moment of inertia based on the model during the constant-running phase. Further disclosed are a controller apparatus and a drive apparatus designed to carry out the method.
