Abstract
Multilegged robots have a wide choice of foot placing to maintain static balance, and can use their legs as arms to manipulate materials. Many multilegged robots have been developed in the hope of replacing people in hazardous tasks. The improvement of the mobility is one of the most important challenges for walking robots. In this paper, the novel mechanical design of an amphibious legged robot is proposed, and a prototype model is composed by using flexible fins. The performance of the prototype model is described.
