title = "Stiffness analysis of WL-16RV biped walking vehicle",
abstract = "This paper proposes a stiffness analysis of biped walking vehicle that is based on a parallel kinematics architecture. Namely, WL-16RV (Waseda Leg No.16 Refined V) is a biped walking vehicle that can carry on board a human while overcoming typical human environment barriers. Experimental tests have been carried out on a built prototype of WL-16RV by using a specific set up for validation purposes.",
