Gait Analysis for Six-Legged Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a general method for the analysis of the gaits used by a six-legged robot independently of the mechanism used to generate the gait. The gait state of the robot is de ned as a function of the last executed steps and several classes of gait states as well as the transitions between them are identi ed. As an example, we apply our method to the well-know wave gaits (the most e cient and stable gaits for straight line locomotion on at terrain) showing interesting properties about how they can be generated, the relation between all the possible wave gaits and about the emergence of the tripod gait under certain assumptions likely to hold when walking on at terrain.

Kinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot
As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...
متن کاملEnergy Dissipation Rate Control Via a Semi-Analytical Pattern Generation Approach for Planar Three-Legged Galloping Robot based on the Property of Passive Dynamic Walking
In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...
متن کاملGenerating Arachnid Robot Gaits with Cyclic Genetic Algorithms
Learning gaits for walking robots is difficult because the elements of control require repetition of a sequence of integrated steps. Controllers for the six-legged robots, such as the Stiquito, and the eight-legged spider robots, in development, exemplify the difficulties of evolving gaits. The controllers for these robots store the actuator commands in a field-programmable gate array as a list...

Abstract Legged robots based on one degree-of-freedom reconfigurable planar leg mechanisms, that are capable of generating multiple useful gaits, are highly desired due to the possibility of handling environments and tasks of high complexity while maintaining simple co...
متن کاملDynamic locomotion with four and six-legged robots
Stable and robust autonomous dynamic locomotion is demonstrated experimentally in a four and a six-legged robot. The Scout II quadruped runs on flat ground in a bounding gait, and was motivated by an effort to understand the minimal mechanical design and control complexity for dynamically stable locomotion. The RHex 0 hexapod runs dynamically in a tripod gait over flat and badly broken terrain....
