What kind of ankle joint? A motorized one, or passive one? If it is the first type I
think the leg will be too heavy to be moved quickly. That is critical since the robot
falls onto itself. Looking closer at the design, I think that you only need to be able
to bring the body over the foot, and then roll the body over the foot, and lift the
foot. Maybe an ankle would be good.
