Abstract
This paper presents operation strategies for a hexapod walking machine that has been designed and built at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) at the University of Cassino. Special care has been addressed in proposing and describing a suitable mechanical design and architecture that can be easily operated by a PLC with on–off logic. Experimental tests are reported in order to show feasibility and operational capability of the proposed design.

This paper presents operation strategies for a hexapod walking machine that has been designed and built at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) at the University of Cassino
Design of intelligent walking machines that can move in uneven terrains and areas which are inaccessible to humans has been a challenge in robotics for a very long time (Rosheim, 1994)
Each leg joint of the Cassino Hexapod is actuated by a DC motor which is activated by PLC, based on the digital logic
Summary
Design of intelligent walking machines that can move in uneven terrains and areas which are inaccessible to humans has been a challenge in robotics for a very long time (Rosheim, 1994). Abstract: This paper presents operation strategies for a hexapod walking machine that has been designed and built at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) at the University of Cassino. The Cassino Hexapod walking robot design and operation are presented.
