Six-legged mobile robot

Mobile robots have two major methods of mobility: wheels and legs. Wheeled vehicles provide a stable base for the robot, however they require a relatively flat and hard surface on which to maneuver. Research on legged robots promises to overcome this difficulty. Legged robots have the ability to man...
