Four Leg Walker

A four legged
walker:


This was an idea I
had laying around
in my head for a four legged walker.
I wanted to build a robot that had
a controlled gait using touch switches.


The legs mount to
the rotating gears.


A different motor
drives the left and
right sides. The touch switches
on either side of the robot control the
gait of the robot and prevent one side
of the robot from out pacing another.

Here is some sample code used
with
this robot.
Here is the mpeg movie of the walker
that best shows how this robot works.
