Abstract

This paper suggests a generalized approach to the mathematical modeling of biped locomotion systems (humans or humanoid robots) with special attention paid to impact and contact dynamics. Instead of the usual inductive approach that starts from the analysis of different situations of real motion (walking, running, jumping, climbing the stairs, etc.) and tries to make a generalization, a deductive approach is pursued, whereby an entirely general problem is considered. Impact dynamics is modeled applying the linear complementarity problem (LCP) formulation. General methodology is explained and demonstrated via the synthesis of a spatial biped model. The validity of the modeling approach is proved by experimental measurements on a human subject in the laboratory conditions. Plenty of graphic presentations illustrating experimental results, as well as the results of the corresponding simulation tests are shown.
