Stability during the biped locomotion and especially humanoid robots
walking is a big challenge in robotics modelling. This paper
compares the classical and novel methodologies of modelling and
algorithmic implementation of the impact/contact dynamics that
occurs during a biped motion. Thus, after establishing the free
biped locomotion system model, a formulation using variational
inequalities theory via a Linear Complementarity Problem then an
impedance model are explicitly developed. Results of the numerical
simulations are compared to the experimental measurements then the
both approaches are discussed.
