Since the wheel was invented back in the Stone Age, it was the primary component used in all forms of mechanical transport. Even today it is the component of choice for almost any type of moving machine like cars. However, the wheel has always had a major disadvantage with short changes of instantaneous elevation like stairs. For most uses, climbing stairs or steep piles of steep rock is not a problem so the wheel is still used almost always. For other uses, people looked at animal and human legs that have already proven to work effectively on this type of terrain. The two most effective leg mechanisms are currently Joe Klann's mechanism resembling a spider's leg and Theo Jansen's mechanism resembling a human leg. We have chosen the mechanism of Joe Klann that has more advantage than the mechanism of Jansen. The main objective of our work is to substitute the function of the wheel for an alternative to overcome the difficulty of traveling in uneven terrain. This document is useful in handling hazardous materials, cleaning mined fields or securing an area without putting anyone at risk.
