  • Multi-Legged Running Robot
    Publication number: 20160001831
    Abstract: A robotic system capable of traveling at high speeds using two sets of rotating legs. The system does not need to contain sensors, a controller, or feedback technology. There are at preferably two parameters controlled—the acceleration via throttle and turning via tilt of the main body of the system. A set of at least one rotating leg sits on either side of the system. The center of mass of the system is below the main axis in order to keep the system stable without use of a control system.
