New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…We focus here on the knee, designed as a compliant human-like knee instead of a classical pin-joint, and on the foot, characterised by the mobility and lightness of the human foot. We implemented an elastic actuator, with a simple position control paradigm that sets the joint stiffness in real time, and developed the basic controller. …”
