From Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملPassive Dynamic Walking Analysis
There are an estimated 1.7 million Americans living with limb loss; further, spinal cord injuries afflict 250,000 Americans [1]. Many patients lose their jobs and their quality of life plummets. Fortunately there have been significant advancements in the design of prosthetic limbs in the last few decades. A noteworthy achievement is the direct integration of a prosthetic device with the brain, ...
متن کاملExploring Passive-Dynamic Walking
Bipedal walking has been demonstrated through physical and computer simulations by McGeer [1] to be possible without actuation or control within a range of shallow slopes. Results from such passive dynamic walkers have led many researchers to believe the mechanics of walking should be understood, in addition to the activation and control issues, for biped locomotion to be realized. Recent work ...
متن کاملPassive Walking with Knees
Passive dynamic walking, a phenomenon originally described for bipeds having straight legs, also works with knees. Thus given only a downhill elope aa a source of energy, a humanlike pair of legs will settle into a natural gait generated by passive interaction of gravity and inertia. No muscular input is required. The physice is much the same as in straightlegged walking, but the knee-jointed f...
متن کاملPassive Dynamic Walking
There exists a class of two-legged machines for which walking is a natural dynamic mode: Once started on a shallow slope, such a machine will settle into a steady gait quite comparable to human walking, without active control or energy input. Interpretation and analysis of the underlying physics is straighgorward; the walking cycle, its stability, and sensitivity to parameter variations are eas...
