for the last few months I have been thinking about how to make a simple
little robot buddy that can walk around in public
This is an example of the feet assembly I imagine the robot to have, but
the problem with this design, with the feet with the horizontal struts,
for balance, is that I do not think that it would allow the machine to
turn very well.
I will do some more searching... Like most of these ideas I have, I
think someone else would definitely have had this idea as well...
Another easy idea would be to just give the robot buddy wheels. Or tank
tracks. The walking aspect of the machine is what attracts me to the
idea of having a computer that would be able to transport itself along
with me, though
