Recently conflicts between wildlife and human becomes worldwide problem, but conservation of wild animals is also a current hot topic. We are developing a unique multilegged robot“Whitegoat” series for animal menacing to reduce wildlife damage. For the goat series, we employed simple mechanical leg driving system - inverted Chebyshev link with 3D trot vectoring mechanism, so the durability is relative higher than conventional legged robot. We have already developed the desk top sized prototype, and A medium-sized anti-black bear class model "Guardiangoat". In this report,we will describe a large-sized prototype "BigGoat(Ohyagi)" for anti-brown bear class.
