Legged off-road vehicles exhibit better mobility while moving on rough terrain. Development of legged mechanisms represents a challenging problem and has attracted significant attention from both artists and engineers.The Theo Jansen mechanism is gaining widespread popularity among the legged robotics community due to its scalable design, energy, efficiency, low payload-to-machine-load ratio, b...

some of the criteria for the evaluation and vetting of research articles, are the significance of the study, the need for researching the specified topic, and preparing an appropriate title. academic scholars and research authorities have research useful finding to improve research methods and have set certain standards for selecting topic and preparing appropriate titles for scholarly studies....

introduction despite the limited anthropogenic activity in arctic regions, the levels of heavy metals are of concern and the arctic is considered as an important global sink for mercury depletion. mercury is not readily available to the food web in its natural form. however, inorganic mercury are converted to organic mercury compounds by microbial processes of anaerobic organisms. mehg is more ...

Problem statement. Analysis of Ukrainian standards, harmonized with NATO has shown that during tests armaments and military equipment, including armored vehicles motor vehicles, is due to need conduct for the effects climatic factors. One types testing factors determination resistance increase temperature, decrease temperature humidity. To reproduce these conditions, chambers corresponding dime...

The most relevant differences existing between wheeled and legged robots, from the point of view of the expected navigation tasks to be performed using each kind of locomotion, are reviewed. We propose a new framework for legged robot navigation that replaces many implicit assumptions usually made for wheeled robots by new ones that are better suited to legged robots. Based on this, specific te...

We present a general trajectory generation scheme for a class of “kinematic” legged robots. The method does not depend upon the number of legs, nor is it based on foot placement concepts. Instead, our method is based on an extension of a nonlinear trajectory generation algorithm for smooth systems to the legged case, where the relevant mechanics are not smooth. Our extension is based on the rea...
