Abstract

The paper presents the generalised approach to design, kinematic and dynamic modelling of walking robot based on multi-body formalism implemented in commercial package. The impact forces were simulated using FEM approach and reaction forces were calculated. Numerical results were validated using reaction forces measurements with tensometer sensors.
