1978-9 – PV-II 4-Legged Walking Machine – Hirose & Umetani (Japanese)

Photo.2 Sensor based stair climibing walk of the PV-II. KUMO-I (1976, see here), PV-II (1978-1979, Photo. 2). The method of locomotion called "walking" requires considerably more actuators than the wheel me thod of locomotion, the drive system is heavy; and it is not simple to control. However, walking machines, because…

1982c – Walking Tractor – Meredith Thring (British*)

From Robots and Telechirs - M.W. Thring 1983 Thring has used the fact that the ideal foot movement is close to that of a link of a chain going around two sprockets to produce a very simple walking mechanism for a tractor. A small model is shown in above. There…
