Abstract

The questions when and why one needs to use mathematical models, and especially the models of dynamics, represent still an unresolved issue. A general answer would be that dynamic modelling is needed as a tool when designing structure of the system and its control unit. In this case we talk about simulation. The other application is in on-line control of the system – the so-called dynamic control. While in simulation one generally uses the best available model, the control can be based on a reduced dynamics, depending on a particular task. The aim of this paper was to highlight the problems important for the dynamics of humanoids and their dynamic environment.
