ZMP and GCOM criteria as a base of assessment of the human gait stability

摘要

An analysis of the gait stability of the man moving along an even surface with a constant velocity is presented. The stability criteria applied to biped robots, namely: the ZMP (Zero Moment Point) and the GCOM (Ground projection of the Center Of Mass) have been employed in the investigations. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of the measurement data obtained from the human gait recorded with two digital camcorders.
