hexapod
A hexapod is a type of organism or robot that has six appendages for movement. Most commonly, this term is used in the context of insects, which are the largest group of hexapods, but it can also refer to a certain type of robot designed to mimic the locomotion characteristics of hexapod animals. The term derives from the Greek words for six (hex) and foot (pod).

Hexapod
A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk. Furthermore, not all of the robot's legs are needed for stability; other legs are free to reach new foot placements or manipulate a payload. Many hexapod robots are biologically inspired by Hexapoda locomotion. Hexapods may be used to test biological theories about insect locomotion, motor control, and neurobiology.

Hexapod
heks′a-pod, n. an animal with six feet.—n. Hexap′ody, a line or verse of six feet. [Gr. hexapous, -podos—hex, six, pous, a foot.]
