In the past decades, much progress has been made in the ?eld of walking robots. The current state of technology makes it possible to create humanoid robots that nearly walk like a human being, climb stairs, or avoid small - stacles. However, the dream of a robot running as fast and as elegantly as a human is still far from becoming reality. Control of such fast motions is still a big technological issue in robotics, and the maximum running speed of contemporary robots is still much smaller than that of human track runners. The conventional control approach that most of these robots are based...

This book examines basic forms of locomotion such as walking and running, and explores the use of mathematical models and numerical simulation and optimization techniques, in combination with experimental data, to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
