This application claims the priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0163657, filed on Dec. 26, 2013, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0163658, filed on Dec. 26, 2013, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a leg type traveling apparatus, and more particularly, to a leg type traveling apparatus in which a travel module is provided in a type of a leg to allow the leg type traveling apparatus to readily travel despite an obstacle such as a flight of stairs.
These and/or other aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a bicycle-shaped leg type traveling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the control unit controlling the bicycle-shaped leg type traveling apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1;
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. Exemplary embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the accompanying drawings, however, the present invention is not limited thereto or restricted thereby.
When it is determined a detailed description related to a related known function or configuration that may make the purpose of the present invention unnecessarily ambiguous in describing the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted here. Also, terms used herein are defined to appropriately describe the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and thus may be changed depending on a user, the intent of an operator, or a custom. Accordingly, the terms must be defined based on the following overall description of this specification.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a bicycle-shaped leg type traveling apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a control unit 160 controlling the bicycle-shaped leg type traveling apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a leg type rear traveling unit 140 of a travel module 130 illustrated in FIG. 1.
