Pedipulator Primary Balance Experiment
An 18 feet high metal skeleton is operated by a man on display in Schenectady, N.Y. The Pedipulator is to be used by the U.S. Army like a giant robot on rugged terrain; and is impassible by vehicles. Unlike a robot it is controlled by the operators hand and foot movements. The primary version of a 18 feet high walking machine is called a Pedipulator. A man stands inside the Pedipulator, a big open sided box on metal stilts. The machine rocks back and forth using his feet and hands to control his movements.

But are expected to function freely in later models. The man inside the Pedipulator continues rocking back and forth.
