  • Abstract
    The control and stability properties of legged machines in locomotion are considered. The general stability of all such machines is separated into three categories: stability of the body´s orientation with respect to earth; stability of the body´s trajectory; stability of the gait. The control laws for a fully dynamic system with six degrees of freedom are presented. Their stability properties are studied by simulation with the introduction of disturbances.
