Spring-loaded inverted pendulum goes through two contraction-extension cycles during the single-support phase of walking
Despite the overall complexity of legged locomotion, the motion of the center of mass (COM) itself is relatively simple, and can be qualitatively described by simple mechanical models. In particular, walking can be qualitatively modeled by a simple model in which each leg is described by a spring-lo...
