Second, an effective gait parameter optimization algorithm is performed to find the optimal set of key gait parameters (step length, duration time of gait cycle, average height of center of mass (CoM), amplitude of the vertical CoM motion and double support ratio), which maximizes either the walking stability margin or the energy efficiency with certain walking stability margin under practical constraints (mechanical constraints of all joint motors, geometric constraints, friction force limit and yawing moment limit) according to the conditions of terrain. Third, the necessary controllers for biped robots have been introduced briefly.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title
