Penerapan Algoritma Tripod Gait pada Robot Hexapod Menggunakan Arduino Mega128

Abstract

<em>The movement of the robot with wheels almost do not experience problems setting when road conditions tend to be flat or bypassed. However, problems arise when the condition of the streets where tend to be broken or wavy. With these problems legged robot is suitable for solving the problem. Legged robot itself is divided on several types, among others, two-legged robot (humanoid), four-legged robot (Quadpod), and a six-legged robot (Hexapod). This research will be discussed on how to build a Hexapod robot control at the system by applying the pattern step tripod gait on a Hexapod robot so that the accuracy of movement applied on a Hexapod Robot will produce the maximal movement patterns. In addition before determining the pattern step shall be applied forward gait tripod kinematic. Generally forward kinematic derived from around the corner join configuration so that the position of the end effector in Cartesian spaces (x, y) can determine the position of the corners on a servo motor from different corners of the position or angle of the servo value used to form the shape of the foot of each leg can determine the changes when the maneuver. It was only the application of pattern step tripod gait can be done, the robot can run well and constant can even generate some movement such as forward, backward, turn left, turn right. On testing the movement Forward in open areas and advanced on the Area Covered with an average speed of 5 cm/s, testing Motion backward on open areas and retreat in enclosed areas with an average speed of 4.32 cm/s, testing the rotary motion Right on open and Turning Right on Closed with an average speed of 13 degrees/minutes, testing the rotary motion of the left in the open and Turning left on Closed with an average speed of 12.85 degrees/sec The power needed, overall testing on areas of open and enclosed areas is 0.3 Volts with an overall duration of use 240.8 seconds.</em>
