7.7.2 Global forces at origin
After obtaining the global forces at the pelvis in the global Cartesian coordinates
we can transfer the resultant active force from the pelvis to the origin using the
equilibrium conditions. Thus, the resultant active forces (M o , F o ) at the origin are
obtained as follows:

7.7.3 ZMP calculation
Next, the resultant active forces are further transferred from the origin to the
ZMP by using the equilibrium conditions; i.e., (M zmp , F zmp ) are obtained using
the equation:
