  • Abstract
    In this paper a biped locomotor, named as WL-15 (Waseda Leg 15), is analyzed in terms of stiffness characteristics. Basic models and a formulation are proposed in order to deduce the stiffness matrix as a function of the most important design parameters of the WL-15 architecture. First numerical simulations and experimental tests are also carried out for stiffness performance estimation.
