Abstract :
This work describes the construction of a 4-Tetrahedron Walker Robot using inexpensive material. The final hardware selection in building the robot will be covered. Both mechanical systems and the electronic control systems will be discussed in detail. A concept has been formulated to implement the control in the case of choreographic designed gaits or for a commands node position.
