The ‘moonwalk’ (backslide), known as a dance step or pantomime technique, is a movement in which the feet slide backward on the floor, while it gives the observer the illusion of walking. In this research, we investigate the characteristics of the moonwalk from the measurement using a motion capture system and force plates, and propose a kinematic model of the moonwalk to generate trajectories similar to the measured movement under its kinematic constraints.
