A group of scientists has predicted that moon village will be reality by 2030. By the cooperation of astronauts and robotic systems on the moon it will be reality by 2040. Scientists raised this statement during the symposium conducted by European Space Agency (ESA) in Netherlands titled as "Moon 2020-2030, A New Era of Coordinated Human and Robotic Exploration".
The invention provides a walking device which stimulates a gait of a legged animal. The device includes a frame with spaced axial mounts, a leg, axially connected upper and lower rocker arms which limit reciprocating leg motion. The leg is driven by a connecting arm powered by a rotating crank. The position and configuration of the axial connecting sites establish a prescribed orbital path that the foot undertakes with each revolution of the crank. Both rocker arms and the crank are axially mounted to the frame. The leg has a hip joint axially connected to the upper rocker arm for limiting hip motion, a foot and a knee joint axially connected to the connecting arm. The connecting arm has three axial connecting sites, one for connecting to the knee, another to the crank, and a third connecting site defined as a centrally disposed elbow joint connecting site which connects onto the lower rocker arm and limits knee joint motion. Under power, crank rotation is transferred to the connectin...
