New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…This paper presents a human-oriented approach to design the mechanical architecture and the joint controller for a biped robot. Starting from the analysis of the human lower limbs, we figured out which features of the human legs are fundamental for a correct walking motion, and can be adopted in the mechanical design of a humanoid robot. …”
