A Mathematical Theory for Legged Locomotion Systems,
Abstract
While legged locomotion systems typically possess a large number of degrees of freedom and are inherently very non-linear, it is nevertheless possible to construct a mathematical theory powerful enough to produce results not obtainable by informal methods. Although the present theory is not very far advanced, a framework suitable for the organization of further research has been established. Continued efforts to extend and improve the current understanding of legged locomotion should eventually produce a useful theoretical basis for the design and analysis of legged vehicles and prosthetic and orthotic appliances.
