The Design of Manually Operated Controls for a Six-Degree-of-Freedom Groundborne 'Walking' Vehicle: Control Strategies and Stereotypes,

Abstract

The problems posed by control of 'walking' six-degree-of-freedom vehicles vary with specific task requirements. Different strategies are required for cruising 'supervisory' control and precision foot placement. These, along with anthropometric and stereotypic considerations, directly affect the design of the manually operated controls and the degree to which multiple-axis/multiple-task integration can be achieved within a single controller.
