Background The prevalence of foot osteoarthritis (OA) is much less understood than hip, knee and hand OA. The foot is anatomically complex and different researchers have investigated different joints with lack of methodological standardisation across studies. The La Trobe Foot Atlas (LFA) is the first to address these issues in providing quantitative assessment of radiographic foot OA, but has not...
We demonstrate in this paper our motion generation sheme for the generation of stable bipedal walking motions and we expand it to enhance its flexibility and independency. An algorithm for the control of appropriate orientations of the feet and the trunk permits the robot to turn in a natural and safe way. Polygonal constraints on the positions of the computed feet positions serve to improve its reliability...
This paper concerns the construction and function of a test foot with a passive toe joint. This was developed within the scope of the EU project ALEAR (artificial language evolution on autonomous robots) together with a test leg for the humanoid robot "M-Series" to test different function principles. In particular the sensor types are exemplified which are used in this foot. Further, the...
