A. Videos of the transition from a straight to a meandering walk of a multilegged modular robot:

1. Six modules, anti-phase gait pattern, viscous damper model (floor) (10M)

2. Twelve modules, anti-phase gait pattern, viscous damper model (floor) (15M)

3. Six modules, in-phase gait pattern, viscous damper model (floor) (10M)

4. Six modules, anti-phase gait pattern, spring-and-damper model (floor) (10M)

5. Six modules, anti-phase gait pattern, Coulomb friction model (floor) (10M)

B. Videos of the turning behavior during target pursuit:

1. Turning behavior during target pursuit using adequate strength of the connection between the modules (2M)

2. Comparison between three types of strength of the connection between the modules (2M)
