Videos of the experiments reported in the book

RABBIT ERNIE

MATLAB code for two of the book's robot models

  • WGCCM_five_link_model_generation_example.zip: Routines that use the Symbolic Math Toolbox to generate the equations of motion for a 5-link (kneed) biped walker with the morphology of RABBIT. The example includes a function to automatically generate MATLAB functions from symbolic expressions.
  • WGCCM_three_link_walker_example.zip: A complete simulation and animation example of a three-link walker. The Symbolic Math Toolbox is required to derive the model and control routines.
