Lateral oscillations of the center of mass of bipeds as they walk. Inverted pendulum model with two degrees of freedom

The use of inverted pendulum models to study the bio-mechanics of biped walkers is a common practice. In its simplest form, the inverted pendulum consists of a point mass, which models the center of mass of the biped, attached to two straight mass-less legs. Most works using the simplest inverted pe...
