Abstract

Legged robots are useful in the uneven terrain field than wheeled robots since they can have many kinds of gaits. In this paper a quadruped robot like a dog was designed and the gait was proposed for the stable walking. Its front two legs have joints for the outward or inward motion for the turnabout. Its hind two legs have joints for only the forward or backward motion. A camera was attached at the front upper position like a head. The object to be followed by the robot was captured by the camera and the relative position and the angle was obtained.

Highlights

  • A camera was attached at the front upper position like a head

  • Many kinds of mobile robots were developed in order to meet the given tasks

  • If less legs are used like humanoid robot, it needs complicated control system

Summary

Introduction

Many kinds of mobile robots were developed in order to meet the given tasks. They use wheel or leg in order to have mobility. Since the motor driven wheel mechanism were developed long time, the design and fabrication of the wheeled robot is easier and widely used. It is suitable for the paved road or indoor floor. Another type of mobile robot is that have legs They are developed for the operation in the rough terrain for military purpose or security. The robot similar to the animal with 4 legs is researched by many research team.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11] The control system for such robot can be relatively simple and stability can be secured
