Abstract
Hydraulically actuated hexapod robots form a very useful class of walking robots in the context of service robotics, field robotics, search and rescue, and high-risk operations. It can also be utilized as a test bed for designing and validating various gaits and walking behaviors. A lot of potential applications would be possible with the advent of various technologies associated with the design and manufacturing of such robots. A concise description has been presented for the potential application areas of hydraulically actuated hexapod walking robots.
