This work presents a study of the human/humanoid locomotion system and a method for
adaptation of the human motion capture data (HMCD) for driving a humanoid robot. The
analysis uses the previously defined concept of the zero moment point (ZMP) which
provides a basis for the adaptation of the HMCD. An appropriate model of the robot foot, in
agreement with the HMCD, is proposed. This model is used to plan a desired ZMP trajectory.

This work presents a study of the human/humanoid locomotion system and a method for adaptation of the human motion capture data (HMCD) for driving a humanoid robot. The analysis uses the previously defined concept of the zero moment point (ZMP) which provides a basis for the adaptation of the HMCD. An appropriate model of the robot foot, in agreement with the HMCD, is proposed. This model is used to plan a desired ZMP trajectory. A scheme for approximately matching the actual ZMP trajectory to the desired ZMP trajectory, through periodic joint motion correction at selected joints, is discussed. A method for resolving the ground reaction forces at the foot is also proposed.
