Where is the secret of walking concealed?

Passive dynamic walking robot can walk on a slight slope without actuators. It is interesting that the walking is a stable phenomenon and is the most natural motion. The authors claim that a control law in walking robot should be constructed based on the passive dynamic walking. In this paper, we introduce a stability analysis of passive dynamic walking and show a kind of simple control law based on delayed feedback control
