walker (robot)

A bipedal (or multipedal) non-humanoid robot or mecha that walks on legs.

They usually lack a head or arms and some have chicken-like reverse-jointed legs. The AT-ST and AT-AT from Star Wars and the Tripods from War of the Worlds are arguably the most recognizable examples of this style of mecha design.

Do not confuse these for regular mechas - if it's humanoid it's typically not a walker.

Examples

An AT-ST, the typical "chicken walker" style of walker

A Titan, a "walking tank" style walker

ED-209, a mix of "chicken walker" and "walking tank"

An M1A4 Juggernaut, a multipedal "spider" style walker
