A hexapod walking robot comprises a frame, three sets of mechanical legs with identical structure and an electric unit, wherein, the three sets of mechanical legs are respectively connected with the front, middle and rear parts of the frame through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shafts connected with the three sets of mechanical legs and the frame are mutually arranged in parallel, and the electric unit is fixedly connected with the frame for controlling the expansion and contraction of the telescopic rod in each set of mechanical legs; The mechanical leg includes a thigh support, a firsttelescopic lever, a second telescopic lever, a telescopic lever seat, a thigh link, a left calf link, a left foot end piece, a right calf link, a right foot end piece, a calf drive link, a calf driveswing lever and a third telescopic lever, and a first rotational shaft, a second rotational shaft, a third rotational shaft, a fourth rotational shaft, a fifth rotational shaft, a sixth rotational shaft, a seventh rotational shaft and an eighth rotational shaft. The hexapod walking robot has the advantages of small number of drivers, light dead weight, good decoupling property of leg mechanism, simple control and the like.
