Well, that is the million dollar question, so to speak :)
There really is no predetermined requirement that says the figure HAS to be
humanoid, so I suppose a four or six legged creature (or even a creature
with no legs) would work just as well, and could even be a more traditional
"rover" or other wheeled vehicle, but it would be very cool to do a
humanoid. Thus the original subject of this thread, to which no one has yet
posted. Am I to assume then that no one on this list has done this ? Let
us call it a challenge then, to see if it CAN be done ! In theory, you
should be able to weight it correctly such that it will walk on 2 legs, but
theory is always so abstract...

Basically, what you need is a system that can sense very delicate shifts in (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
