ABSTRACT:
A robot system is disclosed comprising a robot having a plurality of articulated members, actuator jacks for effecting movements (locomotion or other operations) of the articulated members, and a data processing unit controlling the jack actuators. One articulated member is pivotally mounted about three separate axes intersecting at a first fixed point. Two jack actuators are provided for the one articulated member. Two ball joints articulate the jack actuators to the one articulated member about two points separate from and out of alignment with the first fixed point and two other ball joints articulate the jack actuators about respective second and third points also separate from and out of alignment with the first fixed point. The one articulated member comprises a perpendicular plate, the two points articulated to the jack actuators being disposed at the plate and the axes of the two jack actuators lying in mutually perpendicular planes.
