This project is based on some Star Wars Droids which Disney Imagineering have had walking around Galaxies Edge Theme Park. Obviously they have far more resources than me, and they trained their robots in a simulation before building them. Yeah I built mine in a few weeks.
In the previous video I built a very simple pair of legs with only four motors, The Star Wars Droid could bend each leg but that was it, so it was like tipping a box onto its edges.

This time I added extra joints to the hips of the Star Wars Droid as well as it's head, and added the extra motions to make its hips sway.
