A bootie for an upper of an article of footwear comprises a set of basic pattern pieces made of a layered structure comprising a membrane and an extension piece made of thinner and more elastic material than the material of the basic pattern pieces and at least partially creating a top line of the bootie at an ankle region of the user when in use. The extension piece is connected to the set of basic pattern pieces along a first connection line. The bootie further comprises a lining piece being stitched to the extension piece along a top part of the lining piece and covers the extension piece and the set of basic pattern pieces on the inside of the bootie when in use. The lining piece covers the first connection line. The extension piece thereby creates a link between basic pattern pieces and lining piece.

A humanoid robot includes an upper region, a lower region, and a central region. The upper region includes a head, a torso, and a pair of arms coupled to the torso. The lower region is spaced apart from the upper region and includes a pair of legs. The lower region of the robot includes left and right ankle assemblies configured to control a pitch movement and a roll movement of left and right feet of the humanoid robot. Each ankle assembly can include a foot-roll actuator assembly and a foot-roll actuator assembly. The foot-roll actuator assembly is coupled to the foot and to the foot-flexion actuator. The foot-roll actuator assembly is configured to control roll movement of each respective foot relative to both a shin of each leg and the foot-flexion actuator assembly.
