The normal human running has been simulated by two-dimensional biped model with 7 segments. Series of normal running experiments were performed and data of ground reaction forces measured by force plate was analyzed and was fitted to some Fourier series. The model is capable to simulate running for different ages and weights at different running speeds. A proportional derivative control algorit...

This paper describes the control of a simulated three dimensional model of a human runner The rigid body model has seventeen segments and thirty con trolled degrees of freedom The dynamic parameters of the simulation were computed using data measured from humans to produce a model that is biomechan ically realistic within the constraints of a rigid body approximation We developed locomotion con...
