Walking dinosaur
This walking bipedal dinosaur has all the motions of legs, arms,
and it even shakes head and tail rhythmically. All this in a design
only 15 cm (6'') tall. It gets its motion from the wheels of a cart
behind it, which also keeps it upright. I attached it to the cart
by springs so that it 'dances' up and down as it walks.
The spectral color codes for depth: red closer than orange, etc.
The back of the head is a Technic chair...
For an interesting alternative sophisticated design of bipedal motion, look
at
Kazuhiro Umeda's walking biped robot (movie included!).
