Abstract
A multi-legged walking apparatus includes a first plurality of legs having a large weight support capacity and a second plurality of legs providing a large thrust force. The first plurality of legs provide a smaller thrust force than the thrust force of the second plurality of legs, and the second plurality of legs have a smaller weight support capacity than the weight support capacity of the first plurality of legs. The overall weight of the apparatus is supported substantially by the first plurality of legs, and the overall thrust of the apparatus is provided substantially by the second plurality of legs.
