Port-based modeling and control for efficient bipedal walking robots

This thesis aims to provide a framework for modeling, analysis, and efficient control of walking robots. The framework uses a port-Hamiltonian system description to express the dynamics of rigid mechanisms and their interaction with the ground. The structure of the resulting models forms the basis for the development of general analysis and control techniques.
