Walking robot IV (the name), is an all terrain, four legged robot with no RCX and no sensors. Just one motor, gears, solar cell and the insect based green robot is ready to walk as long as the sun is there. Walking robot IV is a better version of it’s part III, better as in – the latter uses the legs but it uses the gears to be stable whereas the former ( the improved version) is much faster with rear legs longer than the front ones that enables it to move faster and the stability clause is also given due recognition. The best part is that it can walk anywhere, ranging from flat surfaces to rough terrains. Video after the jump.
