MSc THESIS Mechanical Design and Walking Algorithm Design of a Humanoid Robot (SURALP). SURALP is the first humanoid robot, that can perform a dynamic bipedal walking and other tasks, i.e. pick and place, designed and built in Turkey. Research is still going on in Sabancı University Mechatronics Laboratories. My master thesis addresses a natural walking gait generation algorithm which incorporates pre-calculated Zero Moment Point trajectories that mimics humans’. Furthermore, my work on the project includes the mechanical design of the lower body (below waist) and the structural analysis for static and cyclic loadings (FEM). ARTICLES                 K.
