Abstract
Retraction to: Novel Control Algorithm for the Foot Placement of a Walking Bipedal Robot. Int J Adv Robot Syst, 2013, 10:202. doi: 10.5772/55909
The Publisher retracts [1] on Authors' request, following a report of plagiarized content presented in the article. The Publisher's subsequent investigation of the claims confirmed that the majority of the article originates from Section 4 of Tomas De Boer's doctoral thesis titled “Foot placement in robotic bipedal locomotion” published in March 2012. Text, equations and figures were appropriated without reference to Dr. De Boer's thesis or any other indication of the content's origin.
The Authors regret their actions and extend their sincere apologies to Dr. De Boer and Dr. Martijn Wisse.
