The role of impact in the stability of bipedal locomotion
Dynamics and stability of systems, v 1(3)
01 Jan 1986
Abstract
A mathematical model of a simple inverted double-pendulum locomotion system was developed. The stability of the nonlinear model was analysed.
Periodic impact of the system with the ground plays a major role in the achievement of stable locomotion. Phase-plane portraits of the generalized coordinates and velocities were utilized to study the behaviour of the system.
