The chapter discusses walking robots that allow monitoring of agricultural resources. Monitoring is understood as automatic collection of agricultural data: collection of soil and plant samples, assessment of soil cover characteristics, assessment of plant growth characteristics, etc. Such monitoring is necessary for the use of precision farming systems. Possible applications of walking robots for monitoring tasks are considered. The scenario of using walking robots as part of heterogeneous systems and features of interaction with flying robots are considered. It is shown that such a system scales well. The questions of the stability of the gates of walking robots for various schemes of constructing robot legs are considered. The speed characteristics of various schemes of construction of walking robots are considered. Algorithms of slow and fast gaits are considered. The requirements for drives to provide various types of gaits are given—the required drive power, torque, and speed characteristics are determined. The requirements for the technical characteristics of walking robots are formulated: drives, power systems, sensor systems, and control systems. Industrial walking robots are considered, and an analysis of their possible uses in agricultural monitoring is carried out.
