Task-level strategies for human sagittal-plane running maneuvers are consistent with robotic control policies.

The strategies that humans use to control unsteady locomotion are not well understood. A "spring-mass" template comprised of a point mass bouncing on a sprung leg can approximate both center of mass movements and ground reaction forces during running in humans and other animals. Legged rob...
