A Guide for Human Walking Model and Control — Insights from Mechanical Property Analysis of Human Walking

This paper aims to establish the simplest human walking model and provide a guide for controlling biped robots. Firstly, a human motion capture system was utilized to sample the motion data of human walking and a representative subject was selected. Secondly, one of the simplest human walking model was set up. The mechanical property analysis of human walking was done based on the established walking model via fitting. Thirdly, the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed walking model were validated by numerical simulations. Finally, the intrinsical relationships among human walking, biped walking model and control were discussed to provide a guide and insight for controlling biped robots.
