First Claim
Patent Images
1. A motorised device arranged to move using cyclic motion, the device comprising:
- at least two DC motors;
at least one limb coupled to the at least two DC motors, and configured to be driven by the at least two DC motors for moving the device; and
a resilient biasing means coupled to the at least one limb to further drive the at least one limb using mechanical resonance.

Abstract
A motorised device arranged to move using cyclic motion is disclosed. The device includes a motorised means; at least one limb coupled to the motorised means, and configured to be driven by the motorised means for moving the device; and a resilient biasing means coupled to the at least one limb to further drive the at least one limb using mechanical resonance. A related method of moving the motorised device is also disclosed.
