terrain and carries heavy loads. Big Dog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a
hydraulic actuation system. Big Dog’s legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have
compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next.

and 75 kg weight. In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees,
