Hexapod designs vary in leg arrangement. Insect-inspired robots are typically laterally symmetric, such as the RiSE robot at Carnegie Mellon. [1] A radially symmetric hexapod is ATHLETE (All-Terrain Hex-Legged Extra-Terrestrial Explorer) robot at JPL. [2] Typically, individual legs range from two to six degrees of freedom. Hexapod feet are ...
RHex is an autonomous robot design, based on hexapod with compliant legs and one actuator per leg. A number of US universities have participated, with funding grants also coming from DARPA . Versions have shown good mobility over a wide range of terrain types [ 1 ] at speeds exceeding five body lengths per second (2.7 m/s), climbed slopes ...
There are many designs for the leg mechanisms of walking machines that provide foot trajectories with different properties. Walking vehicles are classified according to the number of legs. Common configurations are one leg (pogo stick, monopod, unipod, or "hopper"), two legs ( biped or bipod), four legs ( quadruped ), and six legs ( hexapod ).
LAURON is a six-legged walking robot, which is being developed at the FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik in Germany. [1] [2] The mechanics and the movements of the robot are biologically-inspired, mimicking the stick insect Carausius Morosus.
Legged robots, or walking machines, are designed for locomotion on rough terrain and require control of leg actuators to maintain balance, sensors to determine foot placement and planning algorithms to determine the direction and speed of movement. [3] [4] The periodic contact of the legs of the robot with the ground is called the gait of the ...
A five-bar parallel robot [8] Sketchy, a portrait-drawing delta robot [9] A drawback of parallel manipulators, in comparison to serial manipulators, is their limited workspace. As for serial manipulators, the workspace is limited by the geometrical and mechanical limits of the design (collisions between legs maximal and minimal lengths of the ...

HRP-4C AIST's humanoid girl robot. The HRP-4C, nicknamed Miim, is a feminine-looking humanoid robot created by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), a Japanese research facility. Miim measures 158 centimetres (5 feet, 2 inches) tall and weighs 43 kilos (95 pounds) including a battery pack.
