A wearable mobile-base Walking Assist System (WAS) is simulated in this paper with the bipedal simulator we developed. The simulator employs a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) for bipedal walking pattern generation. The CPG-based walking pattern is one of the candidates for simulating human walking. Average Japanese body dimension data is applied to the bipedal model so that walking efficiency can be evaluated using the simulator. The effectiveness of the proposed simulator is confirmed by comparing real human walking and simulated walking in terms of the shape of the swing leg trajectory, data from the pressure sensor, and the feasibility of the prototype WAS. A prototype is developed and experimental results show the effectiveness of the bipedal simulator.

The foot mechanism and pattern generation we propose for a biped humanoid robot achieves human-like heel-contact toe-off walking. Placing its heel and toes simultaneously on the ground while walking makes it difficult for a robot to take long strides and mimic human gaits. To solve this problem, we developed a biped foot with one passive toe joint based on human gaits analyzed by motion capture and propose pattern generation for human-like walking based on the zero moment point (ZMP) criterion. Using a genetic algorithm, we optimize walking parameters to generate continuous, smooth foot trajectories. Results of experiments in heel-contact toe-off walking in ground reaction force (GRF) using the biped humanoid robot WABIAN-2 demonstrated the similarity between proposed and human walking.
