Design and Realization of Jogging Johnnie
The realization of biped walking robots is a challenging problem. Aspects of actuation, control, sensorics and hardware realization are key topics to achieve a high performance of these machines. This paper adresses design and realization of the biped wal

PREFACE
For almost thirty years the biennial Ro.Man.Sy Symposia, organized jointly by CISM and IFToMM, have played a dynamic role in the development of the theory and practice of robotics. They are, traditionally, limited gatherings that encourage informal discussion and focus on the problems ofmechanics, while not neglecting other perspectives. In this framework the topics are: mechanics, motion control, sensing and programming, synthesis and design, applications, legged locomotion, and biomechanical aspects. The term robotics is understood to also include locomotion systems, exoskeletal and prosthetic devices, and, more generally, all robotized systems. Ro.Man.Sy 2002, which took place July 1-4 in Udine, Italy, was enriched with three keynote lectures, given by Manfred Hiller, Hendrik Van Brussel and Atuso Takanishi, who discussed new trends in applications and methodology. This fourteenth Symposium was the first to be held without Adam Morecki, perhaps more than anyone else responsible for the success of Ro.Man.Sy across the years. With the characteristic energy that he dedicated to all his undertakings, Adam contributed his scientific preparation and organizational competence to help make these meetings a unique occasion
