Can the human body distribution of load and effort on the lower body be directly translated to bipedal robots?

So, I couldn't find the actual source for this affirmation, but I read somewhere some time ago that the lower part of the human body has to be 3 times stronger than the top half; and that's why you ...

Hexapod walking algorithm

I am making a hexapod project with my friend. There is a issue about its walking style. Generally tripod gait is formed as two steps: first move legs 1,3,5, then 2,4,6 which corresponds to moving one ...

Why are bipedal robots difficult?

Not sure if this has been asked, but there are lots of simulations of bipedal locomotion algorithms online, some of the evolutionary algorithms converge to very good solutions. So it seems to me that ...

I'm building a quadrupedal robot that will learn how to walk. From the responses I got from asking if its possible to run a NN on a micro controller I realised I needed to think of a clever system ...

What useful gaits exist for a six legged robot, and what are their pros and cons? [closed]

http://www.oricomtech.com/projects/leg-time.htm lists three gaits: the tripod wave, and ripple. Can these be improved, or can their relative pros and cons be altered, and are there other gaits worth ...
