Optimal Mass Distribution for Passivity-Based Bipedal Robots
This paper reports how and to what extent the mass distribution of a passive dynamic walker can be tuned to maximize walking speed and stability. An exploration of the complete pa...

Speed, Efficiency and Stability of Small-Slope 2-D Passive Dynamic Bipedal Walking
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...

3D bipedal robot with tunable leg compliance mechanism for multi-modal locomotion
— It is expected that variation of leg compliance, that is determined not only by joint compliance but by joint angle, contributes to provide multi-modal locomotion such as walki...

Three-Dimensional Kneed Bipedal Walking: A Hybrid Geometric Approach
A 3D biped with knees and a hip is naturally modeled as a nontrivial hybrid system; impacts occur when the knee strikes and when the foot impacts the ground causing a switch in the...
