Most accurate robotic legs mimic human walking gait



Most accurate robotic legs mimic human walking gait

(July 6, 2012)  A group of US researchers has produced a robotic set of legs which they believe is the first to fully model walking in a biologically accurate manner.

The neural architecture, musculoskeletal architecture and sensory feedback pathways in humans have been simplified and built into the robot, giving it a remarkably human-like walking gait that can be viewed in this video:
