Passive walker with knees has arc feet, which can keep the knee joint of stance leg straight only by the stopper. One of the major differences between human and passive walker is the presence or absence of heels. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate passive walking with heels. Moreover, we demonstrate the energy conversion efficiency of the passive walking.
