Tripod gait: a slightly faster step, in which three legs move at once. The remaining three legs provide a stable tripod for the robot. [1] Six-legged robots include: LAURON, a six-legged, biologically inspired robot being developed at the FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik in Germany. Odex, a 375-pound hexapod developed by Odetics in the 1980s.
In 1999 the third LAURON generation was built. With an overall weight of 18 kg the robot was now able to carry a payload of up to 10 kg. Each leg has three degrees of freedom, and each foot has force sensors on all three axes. The artificial neural networks of the previous generations were replaced by a modular reactive control system.
A six-legged walking robot should not be confused with a Stewart platform, a kind of parallel manipulator used in robotics applications. Beetle hexapod. A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move.

A walking vehicle is a vehicle that moves on legs rather than wheels or tracks. Walking vehicles have been constructed with anywhere from one to more than eight legs. There are many designs for the leg mechanisms of walking machines that provide foot trajectories with different properties. Walking vehicles are classified according to the number ...

[6] Although the title Stewart platform is commonly used, some have posited that Gough–Stewart platform is a more appropriate name because the original Stewart platform had a slightly different design, [7] while others argue that the contributions of all three engineers should be recognized. [6]
