Popis:	This paper proposes a method of giving humanoid robots a natural humanlike walk, which we call the extended-knee walk. Unlike the bent-knee walk of most humanoid robots to date, this walk includes a period in which the knee is fully extended. A parallel mechanism is used in the legs and a method of calculating the walk trajectory copes with the difficulty of the singularity in achieving a humanlike walk. The advantages of this walk were verified from two aspects: good visual appearance and good energy efficiency. An experiment comparing the trajectories of the knee angle during walking showed that the walking style produced by the proposed method is more humanlike than the usual walking style of other humanoid robots. The energy efficiency was verified through power consumption and motor temperature measurements and the possibilities for practical use of this method are discussed with reference to the results of the worldwide soccer competition RoboCup 2008.
