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...

in this paper an energy dissipation rate control (edrc) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. this method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each single support phase (ssp). as yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...

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 ...

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, ...

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...

This paper mainly focuses on the mobile biped robots. It introduces the passive dynamic walking model, the landmark passive dynamic walking robot without knees, review of the development of passive walking robots. and the XZ-01 designed by CUPT, which has broken the Guinness World Records.
