This paper presents a passive dynamic walking model with segmented feet, which makes the bipedal walking gait more close to natural human-like gait. The proposed model extends the simplest walking model with the addition of fiat feet and torsional spring based compliance on ankle joints and toe joints, to achieve stable walking on a slope driven by gravity. The push-off phase includes foot rotations around the toe joint and around the toe tip, which shows a great resemblance to human normal walking. This paper investigates the effects of the segmented foot structure on bipedal walking in simulations. The model achieves satisfactory walking results on even or uneven slopes.展开更多

Passive Dynamics Based Walking （PDBW） has been proven to be an efficient pattern in numerous previous approaches to 2D biped walking. The goal of this study is to develop feasible method for the application of PDBW to 3D robots. First a hybrid control method is presented, where a previously proposed two-point-foot walking pattern is employed to generate a PDBW gait in the sagittal plane and, in the frontal plane, a systematic balance control algorithm is applied including online planning of the landing point of the swing leg and feedback control of the stance foot. Then a multi-space planning structure is proposed to implement the proposed method on a 13-link 3D robot. Related kinematics and planning details of the robot are presented. Furthermore, a simulation of the 13-link biped robot verifies that stable and highly efficient walking can be achieved by the proposed control method. In addition, a number of features of the biped walking, including the transient powers and torques of the joints are explored.展开更多
