Multi-legged walking robots are suitable platforms for unstructured and rough terrains
because of their immense locomotion capabilities. These are, however, redeemed by more …

Hexapod robots have stronger adaptability to dynamic unknown environments than wheeled
or trucked ones due to their flexibility. In this paper, a novel control strategy based on rolling …

Articulated legs enable the selection of robot gaits, including walking in different directions
such as forward or sideways. For longer distances, the best gaits might maximize velocity or …

This paper deals with the development of a dynamical model related to crab walking of a
hexapod robot to determine the feet forces' distributions, energy consumption and dynamic …

Introduction Millipedes can avoid obstacle while navigating complex environments with their
multi-segmented body. Biological evidence indicates that when the millipede navigates …

An important feature of a legged robot is its dynamic motion performance. Traditional
methods often improve the dynamic motion performance by reducing the moment of inertia …

This paper presents a novel model-based structural optimization approach for the efficient
electromechanical development of hexapod robots. First, a hexapod-design-related analysis …

The advantageous versatility of hexapod robots is often accompanied by high power
consumption, while animals have evolved an energy efficient locomotion. However, there …

The goal of the study was to perform both kinematic and dynamic simulation of an octopod
robot walking on a flat and hard surface. To drive robot legs, different non-linear mechanical …

The electro-hydraulic controlled bionic robots suffer from path contour deviation, which is
affected by inertia, system lag, and control system accuracy. The focus of this paper is on the …
