Hi all.
Has anyone here managed to build a "real" 2-leg walker. What I mean by
"real" is one that doesn't rely on a dragging tail, or sittnig on it's ass

with the other, then vice-versa.
If so, any links.
Thanks
Gordon

| (...) What you really want to ask here is "Has anyone built a 2-legged walker with balance?". I would say it is unlikely that one has been built, but certainly not impossible. For a balancing mechanism you need position sensing, which could be done (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
