Present-day walking robots can increasingly successfully execute locomotive as well as manipulative functions, which leads to their expansion into more and more applications.

This feature of the robot is made possible by the ability to easily change the configuration from six-legged to four-legged by elevating the front segment of its body. Presented prototype will be used in further research to develop the hexa-quad bimorph walking robot.
