1. A walking platform that is capable of achieving automatic self-stabilization comprising:

  • a motor within the mid-region of the platform having a drive shaft extending therefrom;

    a pole that is mechanically coupled with said motor, acting as a leg for said platform;

    a body supported by said platform;

    a foot that is capable of supporting the weight of said platform;

    an adjustable pivot point that couples said pole to said motor, said pivot point being located intermediate said drive shaft and said foot allowing said pole to adjustably swing back and forth in a stepping motion without the use of computers, servo controls or computing regulating mechanisms; and

    a battery attached to the lower portion of the leg, thereby lowering the center of gravity of said platform and said body for stable and uniform movement thereof, said battery being capable of energizing said motor for supplying power to said motor, resulting in said pole and said foot providing a waking motion.
