Since 1990 Theo Jansen, Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor, builds huge structures that resemble skeletons of animals which are able to move under the influence of wind on the sandy beaches.[1][2][3] These structures are known as Strandbeest (Dutch: strand = beach; beest = beast), wind-walking examples of artificial life. Jansen calls them “animals” or “creatures”.[2][3]…
The Adaptive Suspension Vehicle (ASV) is a six-legged robotic system designed for sustained locomotion on unstructured terrain. The ASV project was initiated in January 1981 under the lead of Kenneth McGhee along with Robert Waldron at the Ohio State University (OSU), USA. The machine took its first steps in December 1985. The first outdoor tests…

[1] The vehicle, was originally designed as a means of transportation on the lunar surface, suddenly became suitable for another purpose. Children, who have lost ability of the free motion due…
Six-legged walking harvester “Plusjack” was developed in 1999 by the “Plustech” Finnish company (the advanced research and development unit of “Timberjack”, now a “John Deere” company).[1][7] Plusjack Walking harvester. [5] Harvester has been designed to navigate the difficult terrain (e.g. steep slopes), with the implementation of the principle of applying the minimum damage to…
In 1965 at the University of Southern California R. McGhee and A. Frank constructed four-legged walking machine, known as «The Californian Horse» or «Phony Pony». This device was equipped by electrical motors, it had two degrees of freedom in each leg (thigh and knee) and one adaptive degree of freedom in the frontal plane.[1] The…

Also team consisted of a range of volunteers-helpers.[1][2] Mondo Spider walking machine. [3] 1 The Mondo…
In the early 1970s, M. Petternella with a group of colleagues (Institute of Automation, Rome, Italy – Istituto di Automatica, Rome, Italy) has created a six-legged walking machine with electric drives. There is interesting design solution for legs: hip performed as a hinge with the lateral axis (one degree of freedom), and telescoping of shank…
