  • Abstract
    In this article, a flatness based approach is proposed for the control of a popular walking biped toy consisting of two legs and a central rotating body. The proposed approach allows for "smooth" walking with steps of reasonable arbitrary lengths and, moreover, without leg impacts on the floor. Computer simulations are presented in the form of animation snapshots.
