His name now is SAMSA, and you can read more about him at <a href="http://www.pablogindel.com/2009/08/novedades-de-samsa/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pablogindel.com/2009/08/novedades-de-samsa/</a><br>
It is not Arduino but Wiring based, which is very similar to Arduino.<br>
Good bye.</p>

You can't just run the servos with a pre-programmed motion script; you need touch sensors and torque sensors on the legs, and a "smart" algorithm that perceives the terrain and makes an appropriate control action.</p>
