Walking machines have potential advantages over traditional vehicles, and they have already succeeded in carrying out many tasks that wheeled or tracked robots cannot handle. Quadrupedal Locomotion: An Introduction to Four-legged Robots brings together some of the methods and techniques in this emerging field that have recently been developed in to deal with the problems that currently prevent legged robots being more widely used for real applications. As the first book to focus specifically on quadrupeds, Quadrupedal Locomotion: An Introduction to the Control of Four-legged Robots will be bought by researchers, postgraduates and senior undergraduates in the field of robotics as well as engineers working in industry.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book is devoted to the imitation of walking by the development of machines with legs, also widely known as legged robots; in other words, mechanical systems that move themselves by using devices that resemble legs. ... The book is of high level and it can be of great importance for researchers to expand on legged robot techniques."
(George S. Stavrakakis, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1112 (8), 2007)

"This book is the first one focusing on four-legged robots. It is a self-contained reading on the subject, covering all the major problem areas in the domain...There are at least two reasons why one should read this book: its comprehensive domain covereage and its elaboration on promising new approaches and tools used to solve traditional problems. It is a pleasure to read! Summing Up: Highly recommended"
(G. Trajkovski, Choice, December 2006)
