ARPA built a walking robot in 1968 which was pneumatically-powered by
an external compressor and had a human being operating the legs.  It
was the beginnings of a program to build a walking vehicle for the Army
to use in mountainous terrain.  I don't think it ever got beyond the point
of a single test prototype, which is now at the Army Transportation Museum
at Ft Eustis, next to some hovercraft.
