Table II is just beneath Table I, top of left column on page 2...

Thanks. Don't know what happened. I clicked on the hyperlink and still missed it.

This video would deserve its own submission!

[delayed]
There is no Table II :(
Passive Dynamic Walking is interesting. I remember being really impressed by a video of a pair of legs going down a slope without any mechanical force on the "walker" itself to move them, just gravity and friction, I guess. That was back in 2014, probably. It seems like people have kept working on the concept. I have no way to tell though whether the idea really has cough cough legs, or it will just remain an engineering curiosity that can never be put to real work.
I can't really tell from this paper. Robotics is not my expertise (I work on autonomous navigation and decision-making for robots, but I'm not allowed to go anywhere near the robots. Electronics fry when I'm in proximity).
Edit: collection of passive dynamic walking videos:
