Des. 2015;137(1):011404-011404-14. doi:10.1115/1.4028757 People have been known to carry heavy loads with bamboo poles in parts of Asia for centuries. Large, bulky loads are often carried in large baskets tied with a long rope to each end of the pole. Carry loads with compliant bamboo poles may reduce the peak forces of carrying a given load. Further, compliant poles free the arms, which may then be used to help stabilize the baskets from swaying during locomotion.

During running, the leg touches down when θ = β. During walking, there are two independent legs, with θ and Ψ describing the angle of each leg in stance. Each leg touches down independently when θ = β or Ψ = β. In both models, the leg lifts off of the ground when the vertical component of the leg's ground reaction force is 0 N. Figure Legend:

The results for the hip-SLIP model show the dynamics of the system at steady state, which differs from the more complex behavior shown in the actual experimental data. Figure Legend:

The top two images the side profile and the top profile of a yoke that could be carved from wood which would have a high second moment of inertia and a relatively low distance to the neutral axis, increasing strength. The bottom image shows a stacked arrangement of flattened wood or bamboo. Figure Legend:
