This research realizes and analyze Multi-legged Passive Dynamic Walking(PDW). Although various PDW studies have been conducted based on its interesting features, most of them dealt with bipedal robots. There are many kinds of multi-legged creatures, not only quadrupedal animals but also creatures with more than six legs. In this paper, we focus on a “Multi-legged PDW,” which is a PDW with more ...

and development in physical agents, namely, fully autonomous legged robots. In this article, we describe our work using Sony’s legged robots to participate at the RoboCup-98 legged robot demonstration and competition. Robotic soccer represents a challenging environment for research in systems with multiple robots that need to achieve concrete objectives, particularly in the presence of an adver...

Purpose – This study seeks to develop a novel eight-legged robot. Additionally, this study defines design and control of an eight-legged single actuator walking ROBOTURK SA-2 spider robot based on the features of a creatural spider. Design/methodology/approach – First, the single actuator eight-legged tetrapod walking spider robot was modeled on solid works and then the animation of the model w...

Legged robots display a characteristically periodic motion. Measuring and tracking this motion has traditionally been performed using general inertial measurement techniques. While widely applied in robotics, this approach is limited in dynamic legged locomotion due to the excessive accumulation of drift from severe impact shocks (nearly 9g in single leg experiments). This paper introduces the ...

Telecommunication tower is an important component of the basic infrastructure of communication systems and thus preserving them in events of natural disasters - such as a severe earthquake - is of high priority. In past studies, researchers have mostly considered the effects of wind and earthquake-induced loads on 3-legged (triangular cross-section) self-supporting steel telecommunication tower...

Purpose: The present study aimed to compare Musculoskeletal Discomforts (MSDs) among six different common postures while working with laptop in female students of University of Tehran, Tehran City, Iran. Methods: This was a crossover trial study. Eighteen female students voluntarily and purposefully participated in all stages of the study. The study participants were randomly assigned into gro...

19. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren geliştirilen bilimsel teoriler ve bunlardan beslenerek gelişen kuantum fiziği ile toplum yeni bir dünya görüşüne de kapılarını açmıştır. Fraktal geometri dünyayı analiz, nicelik, mekanizma açılarından gören, kapalı mekanik bilim karşı açılım sunar. Doğa, dolayısıyla yaşam, durgunluk dönemleri, dalgalanmalar ani sıçrayışlar içeren lineer olmayan yapı göstermekte...
