Abstract
A multi-legged walking apparatus includes a first plurality of legs having a large weight support capacity and a second plurality of legs providing a large thrust force. The first plurality of legs provide a smaller thrust force than the thrust force of the second plurality of legs, and the second plurality of legs have a smaller weight support capacity than the weight support capacity of the first plurality of legs. The overall weight of the apparatus is supported substantially by the first plurality of legs, and the overall thrust of the apparatus is provided substantially by the second plurality of legs.

A multi-legged walking apparatus comprising:
- a first plurality of legs having a large weight support capacity and a second plurality of legs providing a large thrust force, in which the first plurality of leg provides a smaller thrust force than the thrust force of the second plurality of legs and the second plurality of legs has a smaller weight support capacity than the weight support capacity of the first plurality of legs, overall apparatus weight is supported substantially by the first plurality of legs and overall and apparatus thrust is provided substantially by the second plurality of legs.
A multi-legged walking apparatus having front and back legs in which the front legs each have a weight support mechanism, the back legs each have an actuator for generating a thrust force, and a center of gravity of the apparatus is located more toward the front legs.
