Foot design for a hexapod walking robot
نویسنده
چکیده
This article describes the process of development of the robotic foot for the six-legged walking robot Messor. In order to allow the robot to negotiate uneven surfaces and to walk on a compliant ground, the foot includes the sensing device which provides information on contact forces between the foot and the ground. At first, the foot with single-axis force measurement unit is described. Next, design of the tri-axial sensing device is shown. Knowledge gathered during development of the single-axis device was transferred to build a new foot with extended capabilities. In the article description of the manufactured real devices is given.

Adaptive impedance control based on CoM for hexapod robot walking on the bottom of ocean
This paper presents a proposed adaptive impedance control that derived based on Center of Mass (CoM) of the hexapod robot for walking on the bottom of water or seabed. The study has been carried out by modeling the buoyancy force following the restoration force to achieve the drowning level according to the Archimedes’ principle. The restoration force need to be positive in order to ensure robo...
متن کاملKinematic 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...
