Make it Walk: Computational Design Methods for LEGO Walkers

The paper proposes the first computational approach for designing LEGO walkers that support multiple gaits beyond stable walking. The method has two parts: first, a specially designed gear-linkage mechanism controls the foot trajectory of each leg, incorporating a pair of 3D-printed non-circular gears working with a LEGO Technic mechanism; second, each leg is driven by an independent motor, with a simple yet flexible control algorithm synchronizing the timing of multiple leg motions.
