1. An apparatus, the apparatus being a robotic system with passive dynamic locomotion, the apparatus comprising:

  • a body portion;

    a leg connected to the body portion, the leg having a cyclical movement during passive dynamic locomotion,the cyclical movement of the leg inducing a movement of the body portion; and

    an energy recapture mechanism, mechanically associated with the body portion, operable to use the movement of the body portion during locomotion to generate electric energy used for operation of the robotic system.
