            Abstract : 
Methods for modeling, simulation and optimization of the dynamics, stability, and performance of humanoid robots are presented in this paper. Optimal control trajectory following by joint-level control combined with an online compensation method using Jacobians is proposed. The kinematic design, dynamic properties, hard- and software architecture for an autonomous biped, and experimental results are presented.
