Abstract

We consider a simple model of a passive dynamic biped robot with point feet and legs without knee. The model is a switched system, which includes an inverted double pendulum. We present an asymptotic solution of the model. The first correction to the zero order approximation is shown to agree with the numerical solution with high degree of accuracy for a limited parameter range.
