Abstract
A problem of modeling biped locomotion is an actual and complex problem of modern control theory. In the present paper, we deal with a special case when a five-link biped robot with knees moves along a given stepped surface. We describe the robot motion by a hybrid system which consists of a system of ordinary differential equations at the single support phase and an algebraic relation at the double support phase. The main contribution of this paper is the construction of a periodic motion that satisfies a set of conditions inherent in human walking. The results of the paper will be useful to those who are interested in control theory applications.
