  • Abstract
    The joint mechanical flexibility has great influence upon the reliability of humanoid walking. This issue has rarely been studied in previous investigations. In this paper, the concept of the joint mechanical flexibility is presented and the model of the harmonic drive flexibility is established. Finally, the effectiveness of the model is illustrated by the dynamic simulation and actual humanoid experiments.
