Abstract

The inherent dynamics of bipedal, kneed mechanisms are studied with emphasis on the existence and stability of repetitive gait in a three-dimensional environment, in the absence of external, active control. The investigation is motivated by observations that sustained anthropomorphic locomotion is largely a consequence of geometric and inertial properties of the mechanism. While the modeling excludes active control, the energy dissipated in ground and knee collisions is continuously re-injected by considering gait down slight inclines. The paper describes the dependence of the resulting passive gait in vertically constrained and unconstrained mechanisms on model parameters, such as ground compliance and ground slope. We also show the possibility of achieving statically unstable gait with appropriate parameter choices.
