walking robot
Mechanical ambulatory device
A walking robot is a robot that moves by means of legs rather than wheels, tracks, or other mechanisms.
Walking robots range from simple two-legged machines to complex multi-legged designs that mimic insects or animals.
The engineering challenge lies in balance and coordination—walking requires constant adjustment that rolling does not.
The walking robot navigated stairs that would stop a wheeled device.
