An improvement of the computer technology caused the progress in building of the developed machines, indispensable in some works which are too dangerous or onerous for humans. The article deals with prototyping problems in constructing autonomous walking machines including design problems, evaluation of required motor power, evaluation of expecting walking velocity as well as the control system design considerations etc., presenting themselves as key factors which must be taken into account while walking robots prototyping.
