A six-legged, pneumatically powered walkingmachine has been constructed for the body. The locomotor, with either ripple or tripod gait ,moves fowards, backwards, sideways and turnson the spot. It can also squat and lift by splaying orcontracting its legs. The body is positioned on a turn-table, enabling it to rotate about its axis. It has an exoskeleton on its upper body and arms. The left arm is an extended arm with pneumatic manipulator having 11degrees-of- freedom. It is human-like in form but with additional functions. The fingers open and close , becoming multiplegrippers. There is individual flexion of the fingers, with thumb and wrist rotation. The bodyactuates the walking machine by moving its arms.Different gestures make differentmotions- a translation of limb to leg motions.The body's arms guide the choreography of the locomotor's movements and thus compose the cacophony of pneumatic and mechanical
and sensor modulated sounds
