Outline of Final Research Achievements |
New quadruped robot, which has variable walking modes, so-called tall mode, short mode, SCARA mode and stair mode, has been developed. A leg of the robot has 3D.O.Fs with three rotational joints connected in series like SCARA and achieves the GDA. Due to the wide motion range of the legs, the robot can make stable going up/down motion on the stairs and walk on horizontal floors high-efficiently. The prototype and the miniature robot which has the proposed mechanism have been designed and manufactured.
