Abstract
A method of actuating a robotic mechanism having a first leg member rotatably coupled to a first side of a chassis and a second leg member rotatably coupled to a second side of the chassis. The method comprises positioning the first leg member and the second leg member generally about 180 degrees with respect to each other and effecting movement of the chassis by rotating both the first leg member and the second leg member with respect to the chassis.

A method of actuating a robotic mechanism having a first leg member rotatably coupled to a first side of a chassis and a second leg member rotatably coupled to a second side of the chassis, the method comprising:
- positioning the first leg member and the second leg member generally about 180 degrees with respect to each other;
- and
- effecting a forward or rearward movement of the chassis by rotating both the first leg member and the second leg member with respect to the chassis while maintaining the relative positioning of the first leg member and the second leg member.
A method of actuating a robotic mechanism, the method comprising:
- rotating a first leg member with respect to a chassis;
- rotating a second leg member with respect to the chassis;
- and
- responsive to the rotation of the first leg member and the rotation of the second leg member, effectuating a forward or rearward movement of the chassis,
- wherein the first leg member is rotatably coupled to the chassis proximate a first side and the second leg member is rotatably coupled to the chassis proximate a second side.
A robotic mechanism comprising:
- a chassis having a first side, an opposite second side and a center of mass;
- a first leg member rotatably coupled to the chassis proximate the first side;
- and
- a second leg member rotatably coupled to the chassis proximate the second side;
- wherein a portion of the first leg member and a portion of the second leg member are structured to engage a surface, and wherein the first leg member and the second leg member are disposed generally about 180 degrees with respect to each other about a common rotational axis.
