Abstract
The function of the locomotor system in human gait is still an open question. Today robot bipeds are not able to reproduce the versatility of human locomotion. In this article a robotic knee joint and an experimental setup are proposed. The leg function is tested and the acquired data is compared to human leg behaviour in running observed in experiments.
