Purpose–This paper seeks to develop a novel legged robot. Design/methodology/approach–
First, the paper models the legged robot using 3D computer model by intelligent inspiration
of biological principles. Then, based on this model, it develops the prototype of the legged
robot. Findings–A novel motion mechanism is used and only two actuators are used for
driving the system. Originality/value–The modelled legged robot is original in terms of the
developed motion mechanism.
