A passive walker can exhibit a stable limit cycle. In our earlier work, a global stabilization principle of fixed point has been established mathematically, provided that the state just after heel-strike exists at the next step. However, this condition may not always hold. The passive walker with knees can execute the leg-swing motion with no control, only by gravity effect. Unfortunately, while the walker takes a step forward, the swing leg may strike its toe on the slope at unsuitable point. Therefore, understanding of the mechanism of swing-leg motion is very important for assuring the next step. In this study, we focus on the flexion and extension of knee joint of swing leg. In this paper, first, an equation of angular acceleration of knee joint is derived by simplifying and linearizing the model of passive walker. Then, the mechanism of the flexion and extension of knee joint of swing leg is explained.
