Abstract
Waseda University has researched on biped robots since 1967. This paper
describes our latest biped robots: (i) WABIAN-2, (ii) a biped running robot,
and (iii) WL-16. WABIAN-2 is a biped humanoid robot and has realized a
human-like walk with the knees stretched by utilizing a 2-DOF waist mimicking
a human’s pelvic motion. We are developing a new biped humanoid robot which
can jump and run by utilizing a pelvic movement and leg elasticity. WL-16
is a human-carrying biped vehicle.
