Gait is the medical term to describe human locomotion or the way that we walk.
Mechanism is model to be a 3-degree-of-freedom link system composed of a stance leg and a 2-dof swing leg.

3. Gait Analysis
Gait is the medical term to describe human
locomotion or the way that we walk.
It is a locomotion achieved through the
movement of limbs.
Different gait patterns are characterized by
differences in limb movement patterns.
Every individual has a unique gait pattern.
10. Trajectory Planning
An optimal trajectory planning of walking legged
robots
Walking mechanism which has thighs, shanks and
small feet.
Mechanism is model to be a 3-degree-of-freedom
link system composed of a stance leg and a 2-dof
swing leg.
The swing motion of 2-dof swing until knee collision.
The swing motion of the straight leg until toe
collision.
11. The control methods to generate a stable walking gait
that have been proposed are a zero moment point.
ZMP principle is commonly used because of its
simplicity and clarity of the control strategy.
The natural walking gait with minimum power
consumption or minimum input can be calculated by
the optimal trajectory planning method.
The trajectory planning problem can be solved by the
dynamic programing method.
13. Disregard the upper body because it has little effect
on walking locomotion.
Two legs are assumed to be directly connected to
each other through an actuator.
Both knee and ankle joints can be driven by
individual actuators.
Knee joint of the stance leg is passively locked by
means of a stopper mechanism to prevent the
mechanism from collapsing.
14. Ankle of the stance leg is modeled as a rotating joint
fixed to the ground.
The mechanism is modeled to be a 3-dof link system
as shown in figure 1.
15. 3-dof Analytical Model and Equation
of Motion
Notations are -
ui is the input torque at joint i,
li is the i-th link length,
mi is the i-th link mass,
ai is the distance of the mass center of the i-th link
from the joint i, and
Ii is the inertia moment of the i-th link about the mass
center.
16. Using Lagranges equation, the equation of motion
with respect to u1 , u2 , and u3 is derived as follows:
18. Equation of Motion in the Second
Phase
The mechanical model is a 2-dof link system.
Substituting
19. Angular Velocity Variation Caused by
Foot Exchange
It is assumed that the toe collision is plastic and the
foot exchange takes place instantly for the sake of
analytical simplicity.
Fig. 2 Change of constraints by foot change
22. Pi and Pi11 are the impulses caused by the collision
at the joints i and i11, respectively.
The impulse momentum equations for link i are
written in the forms:
23. After the foot exchange, the model turns into a 3-dof
system.
The relationship of the link angular velocities during
the foot exchange is derived from (4) as follows:
24. Cyclic Walking Locomotion Condition
In order to realize the cyclic walking locomotion, the
motion state at posture 5 must be the same as that at
posture 1.
Therefore, we get
25. There are two zero elements in [H] as shown
in eq. 5
Substituting the formula (6) into eq.5 ,
26. The angular position at posture 4 is calculated as
follows from Fig. 4 and Eq. (6):
28. Apply Runge-Kutta integration method and integrate
Eq. (10) from posture 43 during the second apply
the backward phase to calculate the motion variables
at posture 3.
The time step width is given by:
30. Using the impulse-momentum equations
similar to Eq. (4) for the knee collision
The angular velocity vector at posture 2 must
satisfy the following equation.
31. Assume that no knee collision occurs, instead
of Eq. (14), we have,
33. Conclusion
Biometrics points are useful for making
identifications with camera systems, but they depend
on the existence of a previously generated database so
that gait patterns can be compared.
Numerically investigated the optimal walking
locomotion.
