— A planar compass-like biped on a shallow slope is the simplest model of a passive walker. It is a two-degrees-offreedom impulsive mechanical system known to possess periodic so...

— Most of traditional biped walkers based on passive dynamic walking have arc feet and locked ankle joints. In this paper, we propose the method to substitute the arc feet with ï...
