Most books treat the subject from a quasi-static perspective, overlooking the hybrid nature of bipedal mechanics. Feedback Control of Dynamic Bipedal Robot Locomotion is the first book to present a comprehensive and mathematically sound treatment of feedback design for achieving stable, agile, and efficient locomotion in bipedal robots. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this unique and groundbreaking treatise, expert authors lead you systematically through every step of the process, including: \u003cli\u003eMathematical modeling of walking and running gaits in planar robots\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of periodic orbits in hybrid systems\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesign and analysis of feedback systems for achieving stable periodic motions\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlgorithms for synthesizing feedback controllers\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDetailed simulation examples\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExperimental implementations on two bipedal test beds \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe elegance of the authors' approach is evident in the marriage of control theory and mechanics, uniting control-based presentation and mathematical custom with a mechanics-based approach to the problem and computational rendering. Concrete examples and numerous illustrations complement and clarify the mathematical discussion. A supporting Web site offers links to videos of several experiments along with MATLAB(R) code for several of the models. This one-of-a-kind book builds a solid understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of truly dynamic locomotion in planar bipedal robots.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric R.
