Toward a dynamic analysis of bipedal robots inspired by human leg muscles

A walking bipedal robot by adding passive springs like mono and biarticular muscles which correspond to rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF), gastrocnemius (GAS) and tibialis anterior (TA) in human legs has been modeled in this paper. The stability of human-like leg walking can be achieved by ad...
