An Autonomous Biped - Concept and Design

Peter Jakubik

2012

Abstract

This paper argues for a new approach in the mechanical design principle for the humanoid walkers. Applying linear electric direct drive motors the biped mechanism is able to behave as dynamically highly reactive walker admissible to exploiting its own natural dynamics. Based on this, a whole new concept of an anthropomorphic walker prototype is described including the interaction of the design and algorithmic aspects of the motion control.
