Abstract :
Many researchers have investigated a variety of types of robots. In this study, we investigated the centipede type walking robot. The purpose of this study is realizing the transition from straight walking to bending walking and the reverse transition by using control of the width of the leg stroke only. In our experiment, the robot walked from a straight line to a curve, and following parts of the robot walked on the trajectory of the head unit
