In order to study the excitation effect of gait displacement caused by rough terrain environment on passive walking robot, the sinusoidal function model is used to describe the concave and convex characteristics of the road surface, and the random variation of amplitude and frequency is introduced to simulate the unevenness in the real road environment. By using bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent, the influence of road unevenness on the gait stability of robot is compared and analyzed, and the boundary crisis event in global bifurcation is deeply studied. In addition, a robot prototype is built and ADAMS walking simulation is performed to verify the walking capability of the model. It is shown that, on an uneven sinusoidal road surface, the robot's gait exhibits quasi-periodic motion and transitions into chaos with the change of system parameter, occurring via the torus multiplication bifurcation. The excitation effect of the robot gait caused by the rough terrain makes the robot deviate from the limit cycle trajectory, and this results in system degradation in terms of stability. In the walking environments above, the double boundary crisis event triggered by the unstable orbit generated by the saddle-node bifurcation is the main reason for the disappearance of the gait attractor.
