  • Abstract
    In realizing walking machines friction plays an important role which cannot be neglected. Friction will be generated in contacts of the feet with the ground and in drives including gears. Friction influences the power budget and thus the selection of motors, and it influences significantly the control concepts. The paper gives a general description of friction and a walking machine example
