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 article presents the design of a hexa-quad bimorph walking robot with the ability to move at a relatively high speed in difficult terrain. It also has manipulation capabilities both at a standstill and in motion. 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.
