Glisborn the Pilgerbach stream near Edermünde-Holzhausen at an elevation of . This gives an average gradient of 1.7%. The first written versions of legends about the Glisborn were recorded by the Brothers Grimm. It is, however, most probable that this legend is based on an older Chatti legend which states that the god Odin came riding from the Odenberg on his white, eight-legged horse Sleipnir.

Legged robot tripod. Four-legged robots also benefit from a lower center of gravity than two-legged systems. Four legged robots include: Six-legged robots, or "hexapods", are motivated by a desire for even greater stability than bipedal or quadrupedal robots. Their final designs often mimic the mechanics of insects, and their gaits may be categorized similarly. These include: Six-legged robots include: Eight-legged legged robots are inspired by spiders and other arachnids, as well as some underwater walkers. They offer by far the greatest stability, which enabled some early successes with legged robots. Eight-legged robots include: Some robots use a combination of legs and wheels.
