A team of walking robots; control and navigation problems

The paper presents navigation method elaborated for a group of hexapods walking together with remote supervision by the operator. The navigation principles are described referring it to the elaborated programming system. Method of self navigation and autonomous gait generation is introduced relating it to the terrain properties. The control system was elaborated with the assumption that the machines can move together without collisions and following the geographic coordinates send by the operator from the remote central station. The machines are locally self-navigated avoiding obstacles and changing the gaits depends on surface properties.
