    📅 2001🏛 Proceedings of the 2001 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), vol. 1, pp. 239-246, DOI: 10.1109/IROS.2001.973315
    Problem

    This paper seeks to provide a simplified model for generating bipedal walking patterns that can be effectively used in real-time control.

    Method

    The authors introduce the 3D LIPM, where the center of mass moves on a horizontal plane at constant height, and they compute the COM trajectory and foot placement using linear equations.

    Finding

    The LIPM model was shown to predict walking motion well for biped robots, and controllers based on it provide stable locomotion.

    Limitations

    The model assumes constant COM height and ignores joint dynamics; it is less accurate for fast walking or varying payloads.

    Practical application

    The LIPM has been used in many famous humanoid robots like ASIMO and HRP-2 for pattern generation. In the humanoid service robot project, this model provides a simple and effective method for gait planning.
