The model is the simplest of its kind with a point mass at the hip and two rigid legs each hinged at the hip on the one end and equipped with toed foot on the other end. We investigate two cases of the model, one with massless legs and another with infinitesimal leg masses. Rotation of the stance foot about the toe joint is initiated by ankle-strike, which is caused by the inelastic collision of the stance leg with a stop mounted on the stance foot. Numerical simulations of walking show that larger step lengths, higher speeds, stability, and energy efficiency can be achieved than what is achievable by a point-feet walker of same hip mass and leg lengths. Period-two gait of a point-feet walker is compared with period-one gait of the toed-feet walker and the mechanism responsible for achieving longer step lengths is described. It is shown that the advantage of the proposed walker comes from its relation to arc-feet walker. The characteristics of deterministic gait with infinitesimal leg masses is compared with that of nondeterministic gait with zero leg masses. It is shown that deterministic gait does not give maximum speed and efficiency compared to nondeterministic gait with swing leg control. Finally, active dynamic walking of the proposed walker is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0263574708005079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,11]],"date-time":"2008-09-11T10:13:19Z","timestamp":1221127999000},"page":"701-713","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The simplest passive dynamic walking model with toed feet: a parametric study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"R.
