Comparison of Theo Jansen's mechanism and the Klann Linkage in Phun

A very much non-scientific comparison of two walking robot mechanisms. Each mechanism has it's advantages.

seems to me that Theo's model has better movility. The number of joitns per leg seems to be the reason to this. I am really not calling any of these superior to each other but Theos model seems to work better, but Kenn's is more simple

Is it possible to geht the phun-file?

I see no direction changing test

@WoWhacker64 and it is awesomer

I love how the theo jansen mech will rear up (like a horse) whenever it runs into something...

Sweet vid, what software did you use? check out my spider!

[WoWhacker64]

@Thomastancheekun your correct, i re-annualized the vid. However, Jansen's lifts the leg more safely.

[Thomastancheekun]

@WoWhacker64 I think Klann's version lifts legs higher...

[computermedic64]

check out my spider, its a combo of both.

[WoWhacker64]

Jansen has advantage because it lifts legs higher
