1) If engineered or programmed badly, BigDog would fall over. Watch the full video again, and describe how BigDog’s legs move while walking– ie. what is the sequence of leg movements for one complete step? Use the terms BL, BR, FL, and FR for the back-left, back-right, front-left and front-right legs.
Big Dog's leg moves in a alternative pattern is FL and BR moves for the 1st step FR and BL move for the next step in order to balance itself.
2) Explain how this sequence of movements manages to balance BigDog’s body weight.
I believe Big Dog is focusing it's weight on two legs at the time using two legs of a different side(e.g FL and BR) it creates a center of gravity and allows big dog to balance as he moves his alternative legs (e.g FR and BL).
3)Look at BigDog_kick_slow_motion.mov. Draw a storyboard of BigDog stabilising itself after being kicked.
