The University of Linz has been doing intensive research into bipedal walking for several years. The projects include developing new artificial legs and revolutionary drive concepts, and also a bipedal walking machine controlled by dSPACE hardware. The biped’s joints are moved by DC motors with harmonic drive gears. The objective is to produce a completely autonomous robot.
