Different types of movement

Let's first try to understand the various ways in which we can make our robot move. These movements are like some animals' locomotion methods:

• Walk – This type of movement is the human method of moving around. Observe the movement of your legs when you move. They have various linkages, such as the knees, ankles, toes, and so on. All these things in coordination ensure that we can move smoothly across most types of terrain. Can you name at least three animals that use walking as their mode of movement? ______________________________
• Hop – Hopping is basically jumping on either both your feet or on one foot. Animals such as frogs, kangaroos, and grasshoppers hop! MIT started developing hopping robots in the 1980s.
• Slither – Snakes slither. Robots can also move in this way. The Japanese ACM-R5 snake robot can navigate both on land and water.
• Rolling – Any robot that uses wheels to move is a rolling...
