Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is aiming at realizing stable walk for biped robots by providing specialized sole shape. The idea is similar to the mechanism of natural stability induced by shape of bottoms which are seen in boats or tumble dolls. By theoretical analysis, we showed that a sole shape with a toe having a certain angle contributes to the stabilization. By this idea, we designed a sole shape of shoes that stabilizes human walk on uneven surfaces.
