Abstract
Walking animals and human beings are characterized by smoothness of all movements as they exploit the natural dynamics of the body, especially the limbs [14, 16]. This natural dynamics is closely related to oscillations that are well known from electrical engineering. There are well worked out theoretical foundations of harmonic oscillations in linear systems, as well as the theory of general non-linear oscillations. A good example of using this theory is generation of gait rhythm of a walking machine [17].
