Stable dynamic walking of a quadruped via phase modulations against small disturbances
— It is generally accepted that locomotion in animals is based on a trade-off between energy consumption and stability. However, this trade-off is the result of the interaction b...

Stable dynamic walking of a quadruped robot "Kotetsu" using phase modulations based on leg loading/unloading
In this study, we intend to show the basis of a general legged locomotion controller with the ability to integrate both posture and rhythmic motion controls and shift continuously ...

Finding Resonance: Adaptive Frequency Oscillators for Dynamic Legged Locomotion
— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...

Speed, Efficiency and Stability of Small-Slope 2-D Passive Dynamic Bipedal Walking
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...
