Abstract :
A very simple walking robot based on the BEAM (Biology Electronics Aesthetics Mechanics) model of design and control was developed. This robot uses a simple design based on single neurons to drive modified servo motors and propel the vehicle quickly across many surfaces. This paper describes the design steps and results of this robot.
