Abstract
For high school student education, a multi-leg walking robot model MINITAN Z that is small and reasonable and can be controlled from PC is developed. There are points of study that are hard to understand for novices in walking robot: static balance and kinematics. As a teaching material that supports the points, the robot has four legs, can walk keeping static balance, be controlled simply and have legs that can be operated as a robot arm in the air. 5 walking robots and 5 single leg mechanism based on the model are manufactured. They are used in a workshop education and evaluated by questionnaire survey.
