Introduction
Over the last two decades, a number of advanced humanoidal bipeds have been developed, e.g. ASIMO, HRP-3, H7, QRIOTM, ROBIAN, WABIAN, to name a few of them. It is worth mentioning that progress towards a more human like structure has been made by scientists from the University of Tokyo, who have built a Kotaro robot [2]. Obtaining robot movement similar to that of humans is still a problem due to mechanical construction limits or due to weaknesses of motion generation methods [3]. The research being conducted at Warsaw University of Technology aims at developing biologically inspired motion patterns [11, 10, 9] for legged robots.
