Abstract: The ambulatory robot is provided with front legs and rear legs that are constituted so that the lengths from the origins of the front legs and the rear legs to their terminal portions can be varied. In walking, the front legs and the rear legs are rotated and the lengths of the front legs and the rear legs are changed so that the front legs are raised from the ground surface while the rear legs are maintained in contact with the ground. Then, the front legs and the rear legs are rotated and the lengths of the legs are changed so that the front legs raised from the ground surface are replaced on the ground in the direction of ambulation and the rear legs that were maintained in contact with the ground are raised from the ground surface. Then, the front legs and the rear legs rotate and the lengths of the legs change so that the rear legs so raised from the ground surface are replaced on the ground in the direction of ambulation.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of displaying an object on right and left screens so that the object an be visually examined as usually seen by the naked eye. When visual examination positions of right and left displays (1, 2) are detected by eye cameras (3, 4), the visually examined object (WK) on the screens (1, 2) is specified on the basis of the detected visual examination positions. A position of the object (WK) on one screen (1a) is fixed and an entire image including the object (WK) is shifted on the other screen (2a) so that a position of the object (WK) on the other screen (2a) becomes the same to the fixed position on the one screen (1a). A processing is performed to darken a portion of the screen (2a) which is not displayed on the screen (2a) before the image shifting and is displayed on the screen (2a) as a result of the image shifting, and also to darken a portion of the screen (1a) corresponding to the darkened part of the screen (2a) so that the corresponding part is also darkened.

Abstract: This invention relates to the controlling of the travel of a crawler vehicle and aims at resolving the issue of making a crawler vehicle travel on an ungraded land with the crawlers effectively gripping the road surface. According to the present invention, the loads imparted to crawlers (12FL, 12FR, 12RL, 12RR) are detected, and, on the basis of the results of this detection, the sum of the loads on a pair of crawlers (12FL, 12RR) at the front left and rear right sides of the vehicle and the sum of the loads on another pair of crawlers (12FR, 12RL) at the front right and rear left sides thereof are computed. When a difference between the sums thus computed has become higher than a predetermined level, it means that a diagonal stuck has occurred.
