Abstract

Achieving stability of biped robot during walking is a tough task. In this paper, we generate polynomial cubic spline for ankle joints, hip joints, and upper body so that the resulting walk is stable. Stability is assured by calculating zero momentum point with largest stability margin in Matlabs.
