Abstract

The kinematics of humanoid robots are strongly inspired by the human archetype. A close analysis of the kinematics of the human musculoskeletal system reveals that the human joint axes are oriented within certain inclinations. This is in contrast to the most popular humanoid design with a configuration based on perpendicular joint axes. This paper reviews the oblique joint axes of the mainly involved joints for locomotion of the human musculoskeletal system. We elaborate on how the oblique axes affect the performance of walking and running. The mechanisms are put into perspective for the locomotion types of walking and running. In particular, walking robots can highly benefit from using oblique joint axes. For running, the primary goal is to align the axis of motion to the mainly active sagittal plane. The results of this analysis can serve as a guideline for the kinematic design of a humanoid robot and a prior for optimization-based approaches.
