How much is a robotic leg?
The cost for a prosthetic leg is usually less than $10,000 for a basic leg and upwards of $70,000 or more for a computerized leg that you control via muscle movement.

How do you build a walking robot with a servo controller?
Build a walking robot using the Smart Servo Controller To build the robot I used a kit of servo brackets I got off ebay. I assembled them into a two legged robot that kinda resembles a mechwarrior. Each leg is built with 6 servo motors. I used a 6 channel RC radio to send the movements for walking, leaning, standing and tilting.
How do I get my Robot to walk on the floor?
