Gait stability of the walking robot has great influence on the many functional features related to walking robots, from mechanical construction to control algorithms and generating steps. The goal of the presented research was a development of the concept of hexa-quad bimorph walking robot. Results of the performed static stability analysis allowed the initial verification of the mathematical model and provided information about the design adequacy and the possibilities of controlling the machine. The research involved analysing the characteristic postures of the robot focused on retaining static stability. To achieve this objective the mathematical model was made to determine the centre of gravity for the robot by using Denavit-Hartenberg notation. On this basis the simulation model was created in Matlab Simulink environment, where the described analyses were conducted. Based on the obtained results, the initial model error was determined at approximately 3%. It was also established that the centre of gravity for the design was not significantly different from the effective centre of gravity for the robot. This made it possible to achieve static stability through adequate alignment of the legs in nearly every robot configuration.
