Development of a Mechanical Simulation of Human Walking

  • Chapter
ROMANSY 11

Abstract

The primary objective of the proposed project is the development of an enhanced understanding of human locomotion by means of the construction and testing of a electromechanical biped designed expressly to model the human locomotion system as closely as possible.
