There are limitations on the extent to which manually constructed mathematical models can capture relevant aspects of legged locomotion. Even simple models for basic behaviours such as running involve non-integrable dynamics, requiring the use of possibly inaccurate approximations in the design of model-based controllers. In this study, we show how data-driven frequency domain system identification methods can be used to obtain input–output characteristics for a class of dynamical systems around their limit cycles, with hybrid structural properties similar to those observed in legged locomotion systems. Under certain assumptions, we can approximate hybrid dynamics of such systems around their limit cycle as a piecewise smooth linear time periodic system (LTP), further approximated as a time-periodic, piecewise LTI system to reduce parametric degrees of freedom in the identification process. In this paper, we use a simple one-dimensional hybrid model in which a limit-cycle is induced through the actions of a linear actuator to illustrate the details of our method. We first derive theoretical harmonic transfer functions (HTFs) of our example model. We then excite the model with small chirp signals to introduce perturbations around its limit-cycle and present systematic identification results to estimate the HTFs for this model. Comparison between the data-driven HTFs model and its theoretical prediction illustrates the potential effectiveness of such empirical identification methods in legged locomotion.
