title = "Simulation based study of a semi-passive dynamic walking for a human size humanoid robot",
abstract = "This study investigates the effects of semi-passive dynamics bipedal walking on humanoid robots using a simulation approach. WABIAN-2R is a human size robot developed to be used as human motion simulator. It has 39 degrees of freedom of rigid joints and is selected for this study. The actuator of the ankle joint and its harmonic drive is replaced with an elastic joint. This configuration creates a semi-passive bipedal walker, since the rest of the joints are actively controlled to track a desired gait pattern. The passive movement of the elastic ankle joint stores part of the energy of the robot during the collision phase into an elastic form and returns that energy during the rebound phase. The robot can successfully finish a limited number of walking steps.",
