THERE ARE FEW PRECEDENTS IN THE FIELD OF CONFIGURING MOBILE ROBOTS. CONSEQUENTLY, MANY NEW MOBILE ROBOT DESIGNS ARE RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR PREDECESSORS, EVEN WITHIN A SPECIFIC RESEARCH GROUP. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE CONFIGURATION DESIGN OF DANTE, AN EIGHT-LEGGED ROBOT THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO EXPLORE MOUNT EREBUS IN ANTARCTICA. THIS PAPER SHEDS SOME LIGHT ON SOME OF THE SUBLETIES OF WALKER DESIGN, AND SHOULD BE USEFUL TO OTHER DESIGNERS.
