walker (robot)
A type of bipedal (or multipedal) non-humanoid robot or mecha frequently used in science fiction media.
They usually lack a head or arms and some have chicken-like legs. The AT-ST and AT-AT from Star Wars and the Tripods from War of the Worlds are arguably the most recognizable examples of this style of mecha design.
Do not confuse these for regular mechas - if it's humanoid it's typically not a walker.
