2) The parallel-linked mechanism of Achilles makes robot body move with stability.
3) Changeable leg size depended on the custom-built robot structure

5) Achilles seems to be suitable for the leg of light class custom-built robots.
6) Achilles also seems to be suitable for the leg of KHR-3HV or YDH2500.
