The IAI-CSIC laboratories have designed a biped robot using SMART (Special Mechanism for the Actuation of Robot Joints) drives. The aim of this paper is to present the main features of mechanical design, sensorial system and control principles for this nonlinearly actuated biped robot. The effectiveness of this mechatronic design is not only tested using simulation tools but also experimentally using partial robot prototype sub-assemblies.
