ABSTRACT:
A machine for arthropod locomotion on a surface includes a bearing structure supported by six limbs centrally and spherically hinged on a sliding block which is mounted on a longitudinal slideway of the structure. Each limb has a free end capable of interacting with the surface and an opposite end mounted to the machine, and where each limb is rotationally and slidably mounted with respect to a respective limb vertical axis. The machine includes a motor on the constrained ends, and a motor on the sliding blocks of the slideway, each being interfaced with a control system that creates an interaction between motors so as to lift and forwardly rotate three limbs alternatively placed on two sides of the machine, while the remaining three limbs which are supporting the machine on the surface, are correspondingly rotated in an opposite direction.
