A bipedal robot walks on two legs. It must shift its center of mass, move joints in sequence, and keep balance while each foot alternates between support and swing.

Working Principle
A bipedal robot walks on two legs. It must shift its center of mass, move joints in sequence, and keep balance while each foot alternates between support and swing.
Step by Step
Shift weight over one foot.
Lift the opposite leg.
Move the leg forward.
Place the foot and shift weight again.
Concept illustration; component appearance and scale are simplified.
Practical learning notes
Key idea
Bipedal robots balance by controlling center of mass, foot placement, and joint timing. Walking is much harder than two-wheel driving.
Use in robot
The two-wheel project teaches sensing and control before students attempt legged balance.
Safe wiring
Multiple servos need a strong regulated supply and careful current planning.
Classroom check
Stand on one foot and notice how your body shifts weight before lifting the other foot.
