The Trojan Cockroach testing, part 3

Description

The balancing and movement capabilities of the Trojan Cockroach are demonstrated on CMU's campus. The robot was built with six legs, three of which remained on the ground at all times, to prevent the need for an internal balance system. In another clip, Ivan Sutherland indicates different parts of the robot.
