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...
— In this paper we will present the architecture of the planar biped robot “RunBot”. It has been developed on the basis of three hierarchical levels: Biomechanical, Local and...

Legged robots are useful in tasks such as search and rescue because they can effectively navigate on rugged terrain. However, it is difficult to design controllers for them that ...
Abstract— Motivated by the goal of obtaining moreanthropomorphic walking in bipedal robots, this paper considers a hybrid model of a 3D hipped biped with feet and locking knees. ...
- This paper presents a third-order spline interpolation based trajectory planning method which is aiming to achieve smooth biped swing leg trajectory by reducing the instant veloc...
