Subject: [alt-beam] Re: adaptive walking gait?
This is something that is a trait of certain type sof more advanced
walkers. Typicaly, a 2 motor walker will not "fall" into gait, and it
requires major tuning. There are many electrical and mechanical
considerations that go into such an adapive robot. One help is springs,
another is potentiometers. Other possibilities are angling the motors so
gravity literaly helps it fall into gait.
