This paper presents a new concept of the robots dedicated to small farming activities. A walking robot is remote controlled in order to perform agricultural operations in small farms or peasant household. The robot should perform all operations during crop development respectively tilling seeding, fertilization, harvesting, etc. The robot structure is conceived in order to achieve low energy consumption criteria by gravitational decupling and static gait. The power of the robot is calculated robot power is calculated by reference to the power of a man or a horse. The purpose of this work is to approach some aspects of a robot according with the requirements of work environments: energy consumption, influence to the environment, the proper locomotion method, etc.
