Robotics gurus and engineers: what is the disadvantage of shifting weight to the torso in a hexapod robot?

1 Answer

Answer :

Well, not an engineer or anything, but the higher the centre of mass, the easier it is for the whole machine to topple over, especially when it goes up stairs. Or, think of a car going through a corner. The higher the centre of mass, the slower it has to go through the corner, in order to not flip over.
