This paper presents a new path-following feedback control method for a four-forked steering walker based on the Lyapunov's second method. The previous feedback control method requires a convergent operation for the calculation of the state variables in a curvilinear coordinate system. It also requires a high order Lie derivative operation for the calculation of the control inputs. The computational costs of these operations are quite high. The proposed method has the equivalent performance without high computational costs under a condition in which the locomotor moves at a constant speed. The validity of the proposed method has been verified in simulations.
