Abstract
The development and the usability of the developed machines has been constantly improved,aided by the improvements in the computer technology. There have been many publications underlying that legged locomotion is the best form of locomotion through varying terrain, as compared to using wheels. The surface of a terrain may be uneven, soft, muddy and generally unstructured. Legs in the biological environment demonstrate significant advantage in such situations. The proper design solution can improve the robot performances increasing the mobility and decreasing the energy spending. In this manuscript we summarise the fot design concepts what is important but rather neglected problem especially when develipong the muli-legged walking machine.
