This pattern generator is implemented in two sets of experiments implying the HRP-2 humanoid robot: walking with different weighting between (i) the center of mass forces, and (ii) torques applied at the ankle joint. We also considered two types of feet: the HRP-2 built-in flexible ankle, and our proposed solution that keeps the ankle-to-foot without flexibility and add instead a flexible sole. The latter shows several benefits that are discussed.} }
