Abstract
AbstractThis paper is concerned with a walking robot with knees on level ground imitating the passive walking on a given slope. Basic principle of a proposed control method is that dynamics of the active walking robot is matched to that of the passive walking one. However, since it is hard for the knee‐jointed walking robot to successively or robustly realize a stable passive walking on the downhill slope, the passive walking robot is first actively controlled to continue to walk with an actuator at the hip. Then the dynamics of the walking robot on the level grand is matched to that of the stabilized passive walking robot on the slope by implementing actuators at the ankles as well as at the hip.
