This project establishes a general theory of the mechanics of                   walking with more than two legs.  Arthropods are used as test                   models for the hypothesis.  The research has potential                          application to the efficient control of walking machines, robots,               and remote manipulators which must walk on the ground, climb on                 structures, and move in confined spaces for construction,                       maintenance, surveillance, and other related tasks.                             The work proceeds in four phases which include: 1) Survey the                   gross  leg characteristics and potential leg motions of a variety               of dead  arthropods including representatives of all major                      pedestrian classes of  measurable size; 2) Evaluate these                       measured legs from the arthropod  survey according to accepted                  mechanical criteria to begin to determine  for what functions                   they have been optimized; 3) Develop the process of  high speed                 photography and digitization of the resulting images to  analyze                motion of living arthropods; and 4) Expand the computer  model                  for such movement.
