The design and development of locomotory subsystems such as legs is a key issue in the broader topic of autonomous mobile systems. Simplification of substructures, sensing, actuat...
This paper presents an energy-ecient biped walking method that has been implemented in a low-cost humanoid platform, PINO, for various research purposes. For biped walking robots ...
