چکیده

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in legged locomotion, primarily due to the realization that wheeled locomotion has inherent limitations on unstructured environments. The use of legs, adopted by many animals and insects who need to locomote over a wide range of di erent terrain conditions, seems to be the most natural and e ective solution to the problem. In this context, we believe that the analysis and understanding of the principles behind legged locomotion, followed by experimental veri cation of the results is essential.

Design, Modeling and Preliminary Control of a Compliant Hexapod Robot

In this paper, we present the design, modeling and preliminary control of RHex, an autonomous dynamically stable hexapod possessing merely six actuated degrees of freedom (at the hip attachment of each leg). Our design emphasizes mechanical simplicity as well as power and computational autonomy, critical components for legged robotics applications. A compliant hexapod model, used to build a sim...

Large Deflection Analysis of Compliant Beams of Variable Thickness and Non-Homogenous Material under Combined Load and Multiple Boundary Conditions

This paper studies a new approach to analyze the large deflection behavior of prismatic and non-prismatic beams of non-homogenous material under combined load and multiple boundary conditions. The mathematical formulation has been derived which led to a set of six first-order ordinary differential equations. The geometric nonlinearity was solved numerically using the multiple shooting method co...

Modeling and Wrench Feasible Workspace Analysis of a Cable Suspended Robot for Heavy Loads Handling

Modeling and Wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. A six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as Stewart robots. Due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. Various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and app...

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...

Spatial Modeling of Censored Survival Data

An important issue in survival data analysis is the identification of risk factors. Some of these factors are identifiable and explainable by presence of some covariates in the Cox proportional hazard model, while the others are unidentifiable or even immeasurable. Spatial correlation of censored survival data is one of these sources that are rarely considered in the literatures. In this paper,...
