Poor judgment
First, Judgment Day. Then we play golf.
We built this robot to demonstrate the basic principle behind all our walking robots: "Passive Dynamic Walking". The walking motion is the result of two pendulums (the legs) swinging in their natural frequency. The mechanical design of the legs, such as length, mass distribution and foot form, determines the stability of the walking motion.
