Abstract:
An apparatus includes a housing, a rotational motor situated within the housing, an eccentric load adapted to be rotated by the rotational motor, and a plurality of legs each having a leg base and a leg tip at a distal end relative to the leg base. The legs are coupled to the housing at the leg base and include at least one driving leg constructed from a flexible material and configured to cause the apparatus to move in a direction generally defined by an offset between the leg base and the leg tip as the rotational motor rotates the eccentric load.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a housing; a vibration drive situated within the housing, wherein the vibration drive includes an eccentric load and a rotational motor adapted to rotate the eccentric load; a plurality of legs arranged in two rows and adapted to contact a supporting surface, each of the legs having a leg base and a leg tip at a distal end relative to the leg base, including at least one driving leg; wherein as the vibration drive generates a force that is directed downward and is suitable to deflect the at least one driving leg, the at least one driving leg tends to return to a neutral position to cause the apparatus to move in a substantially forward direction; wherein the at least one driving leg has an average axial cross-section of at least five percent of a length of the at least one driving leg between the leg base and the leg tip; and wherein at least a portion of the housing is situated between the two rows of legs and extends below the leg base of the plurality of legs.
