What a fabulous passive articulated foot!

It's very light - about half the weight of a real foot - and it looks easy and cheap to manufacture, so that everyone could afford one. In fact, it looks simple enough that most parts could be 3D-printed.

From the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa in collaboration with the Centro E. Piaggio of the University of Pisa.
