For the flourishing development of the neural network and the interest on the multibody system, the progress of the recent researches that combine these two fields is rapid. By the model simplification dynamic simulation of the multibody system has gained more computational efficiency than the complete model. But the classical PD controller can not response immediately when the state of walking leg in the system has changed. For this reason, it will cause some errors of each joint angle. We expect to improve the stability of the system with the merits of neural network and to make the system flexible no matter the legs are in stance or recovery state. In this thesis, the back-propagation neural network is employed to constitute the neural controller which will be used as the feedforward controller in the hexapod system. The simulation results indicate that the neural controller have improved the unstable state of walking legs and decreased the errors of every joint angle. Nevertheless, the real-time simulation is still unreachable due to the speed of the processor and the property of the back-propagation network.
