While most modern-day quadruped robots crouch their limbs during the stance phase to stabilize the trunk, mammals exploit the inverted-pendulum motions of their limbs and realize both efficient and stable walking. Although the flexibility of the shoulder region of mammals is expected to contribute to reconciling the discrepancy between the forelimbs and hindlimbs for natural walking, the complex b...
