A walking robot is a robot that has legs or leg-like means of locomotion and moves by running or walking. This type of robot imitates the locomotion of living creatures and has a similar range of movement, e.g. the ability to climb stairs.
Walking robots are characterized by their ability to move on uneven terrain and overcome obstacles. These robots can often react flexibly to different environments and are able to use their locomotion skills to explore areas that are difficult for other means of locomotion to access. In security technology, walking robots are used, for example, to patrol, perform surveillance tasks or work in hazardous environments.
