Abstract
Humanoid robots are anthropomorphic mechanisms with biodynamics
that resembles human musculo-skeletal dynamics. This paper
proposes a new generalized (dissipative, muscle-driven,
stochastic) Hamiltonian model of humanoid biodynamics. Also,
(co)homological analysis is performed on its Lie-group based
configuration and momentum phase-space manifolds.
