this is a new system for the walking action of humanoid robots it is simple and very robust

the extension of the main driving strut add a 90 degree movement to the knee joint and the max effort is in tension .
the foot action is also via a tension strut so just like muscles can be made robust in construction.
i intend to make this set of legs use an elderly persons walking frame so will be very realistic

nearing completion the action is amazingly realistic and has made several strides to end off power flex so far
working on a robust frame and means of steering it
here is latest pic of the zimmer frame

the tray in front will hide a steering mechanics and radio control the trial so far is very successful and was able to turn with a weird hopping motion
now compare it to conventional design and thinking
