— Evolutionary optimization of a gait for a bipedal robot has been studied, combining structural and parametric modifications of the system responsible for generating the gait. ...
This paper addresses some performance limits of the kneed and non-kneed passive-dynamic walking machines discovered by McGeer [10, 11]. Energetic inefficiency is measured by the s...
— Biped robots based on the concept of (passive) dynamic walking are far simpler than the traditional fullycontrolled walking robots, while achieving a more natural gait and cons...

Abstract. In the Humanoid Leagues balancing during walking and running is still the biggest challenge for most of the teams. We present here some work in which a dynamic walker is ...

This paper studies the quasi-static motion of large legged robots that have many degrees of freedom. While gaited walking may suffice on easy ground, rough and steep terrain requi...
