Timberjack, a subsidiary of John Deere, built a practical hexapod Walking Forest Machine (harvester).
[citation needed] Dragline excavators are extremely large and heavy machines used in mining and civil engineering since the 1920s that have used mechanical "walking" for locomotion.
Typically, they use a three-legged gait: in each step, a pair of elongated "feet" lift the excavator together with its base and put it back down a short distance forward.
[2] Honda has developed a number of humanoid robots that use a bipedal gait, starting with the experimental E series in the mid-1980s and culminating with the autonomous ASIMO, introduced in 2000.
[citation needed] Boston Dynamics develops complex walking robots that are capable of moving over rough terrain and avoiding obstacles.
The Star Wars franchise has the AT-AT, a large four legged walking vehicle used for transport and combat by the Galactic Empire.
