Review of Gait Analysis and Planning of Legged Robot

Abstract

Legged robot is more adaptable to complex environment than wheeled or tracked robot. Therefore, legged robot has attracted much attention. Being inspired by the movements of man and animals, the main concern is biped robots, quadruped robot and hexapod robot. Gait analysis and planning are the keys to legged robot walking. At present, there are many researches on gait of legged robot and a lot of achievements have been obtained. These researches have effectively promoted the development of gait analysis and planning.
