Quadruped
Definition:
(a.) Having four feet.
(n.) An animal having four feet, as most mammals and reptiles; -- often restricted to the mammals.
Example Sentences:
(1) BigDog Facebook Twitter Pinterest BigDog is a autonomous packhorse Funded by Darpa and the US army, BigDog is Boston Dynamics’ most famous robot, a large mule-like quadruped that walks around like a dog, self balancing and navigating a range of terrain.
(2) The apparatus consists of three basic components; a set of 4 strain gauge platforms on which the quadruped is trained to stand, a restraining device to keep the animal positioned over the strain gauge platforms and two mobile plates which mechanically stimulate the left or the right forelimb to produce the placing movement.
