Some general information on the human walking, a presentation of the current experimental biped robots, and the application of walking bipeds are given. The modeling is based on the decomposition on a walking step into different sub-phases depending on the way each foot stands into contact on the ground. The robot design is dealt with according to the mass repartition and the choice of the actuators. Different ways to generate walking patterns are considered, such as passive walking and gait synthesis performed using optimization technique. Control based on the robot modeling, neural network methods, or intuitive approaches are presented. The unilaterality of contact is dealt with using on-line adaptation of the desired motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristine Chevallereau\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Research at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and is a researcher at the Institute of Research in Communication and Cybernetics, Nantes, France.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuy Bessonnet\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor at the University of Poitiers and is a researcher at the Laboratory of Solid Mechanics at Poitiers, France.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel Abba\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Automatic Control and Robotics at the National Engineer School of Metz and is a researcher at the Laboratory of Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Production, Metz, France.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYannick Aoustin\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor at the University of Nantes and is a researcher at the Institute of Research in Communication and Cybernetics, Nantes, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 January 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-ISTE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781848210769\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e338\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.08\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315339194508,"sku":"9781848210769","price":166.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781848210769.jpg?v=1780178857","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781848210769","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
