About this ebook
Design and Operation of Human Locomotion Systems (1st Edition), edited by Marco Ceccarelli and Giuseppe Carbone, examines recent advances in artificial and biological walking systems from a multidisciplinary standpoint. The book integrates principles of mechanical design, biomechanics, control, and computer science. [1, 2]
The primary chapters and specialized topics covered in the volume include:
📖 Table of Contents & Chapter Focus
- Mechanism Design for Locomotion Systems – Principles of structuring mechanisms used for generating leg movement and gait cycles. [1]
- Kinematics Formulations for Locomotion Systems – Mathematical models and coordinate systems that map out the geometric positioning, ranges of motion, and velocity profiles of walking machines. [1, 2]
- Dynamic Modelling and Balancing – Physics-based equations covering forces, multibody dynamics, foot-ground interaction, and dynamic stability for bipedal and humanoid systems. [1, 2, 3]
- Human Lower Limb Operation Tracking via Motion Capture Systems – Exploring gait analysis techniques using vision and image capture platforms to track biological locomotion parameters. [1, 2]
- Motion Ranges of Human Upper Limbs for Rehabilitation Purposes – Mapping anatomical operational space and tracking upper-body extremities to support therapeutic robotics. [1]
- Design and Control of Exoskeletons for Limb Replacement or Performance Enhancement – Designing wearable hardware, matching anatomical requirements, and programming control systems for human assistance. [1]
🎯 Key Multi-disciplinary Themes
- Wearable Robotics & Rehabilitation – Engineering specifications and medical application considerations for assistive frames and multi-joint therapeutic devices.
- Humanoid & Multi-Legged Locomotion – Structural frameworks, stability considerations, and gait control profiles comparing human bipedal walking to multi-legged robotic systems.
- Theory to Implementation Pipeline – Content maps directly from core mathematical formulation and software simulations down to experimental physical lab testing procedures. [1, 2, 3, 4]
