Abstract: Passive dynamic walking is an excellent tool for evaluating biped stability measures, due to its simplicity, but an understanding of the stability, in the classical definition, is required. The focus of this paper is on ...

Abstract: Passive dynamic walking is a manner of walking developed, partially or in whole, by the energy provided by gravity. Studying passive dynamic walking provides insight into human walking and is an invaluable tool for designing ...

Abstract: Entropy measures have been widely used to quantify the complexity of theoretical and experimental dynamical systems. In this paper, the value of using entropy measures to characterize human locomotion is demonstrated based ...
