  abstract: Walking is simple for most of us, but two-legged robots (bipeds) are often slow, complex, inefficient, heavy, and have robotic-looking motions. What makes human walking so graceful? Can this be replicated with human-like robots? Martijn Wisse and Richard Q. van der Linde provide a detailed description of their research on pneumatic biped robots at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. The book covers the basic theory - passive dynamic walking - and explains the implementation of pneumatic McKibben muscles in a series of successful prototypes.
  table of contents: Passive Dynamic Walking -- Baps; Pneumatic Actuation -- Mike; How to Keep from Falling Forward -- Max; Adding the Upper Body -- Denise; Sideways Stability -- Discussion and Future Research Directions.
