This is the first study of a real physical kneed bipedal robot that can exhibit passive dynamic running.
This movie shows the experimental results of passive dynamic running in the real world.
This indicates that we have found that out robot can exhibit passive dynamic running in 36 steps on the inclined treadmill at 0.22 rad.
The key parameters are two elastic elements, namely hip spring and leg spring.
