Every field in the schema

7 of 33 fields stated

Imperial figures are our own conversion unless the manufacturer states an imperial figure itself. The source letter always belongs to the metric figure — a conversion has no source of its own.

The letter points to the source at the foot of the page. Fields without a figure are dashed: the manufacturer does not state them — that is not the same as zero, and not the same as no.

Notes

  • A sprawling-type quadruped from Tokyo Tech's Hirose-Fukushima/Endo laboratory, using a right-angle wire-driven leg mechanism for fast, efficient walking.
  • Part of the long-running TITAN series (I-XI, 1980s-2000s) from Shigeo Hirose's lab; earlier generations predate this catalog's 2005 cutoff.
  • Its four identical leg units are modular, easing maintenance and replacement.
