To investigate human and animal locomotion, a number of legged robots were developed in our group since 2004. Read about the bipedal robot BioBiped or the research in the Locomorph project focusing on morphology and morphosis strategies in locomotion.
To investigate models of the muscle-tendon dynamics on humans we developed the research platform PAKO . Using our insights on gait biomechanics, walking and running could be realized with the robotic Walk-Run Ankle prosthesis.
Several indoor and outdoor facilities with state-of-the-art measurement equipment helps us to perform experiments on humans, animals and robots. Details can be found here: Facilities .
