Abstract

In this paper, we developed a quadruped walking robot, FRAMIX-T, with insectile leg mechanism and we inspected the efficiency of it in detail. In robotics, the legs of insect type are appropriate for the stability and the agile movement. So we first performed a gait analysis using duty factor, stride, phase etc., and analyzed the stability margin to improve the stability of robot. On the basis of this research, we planned the wave gait suitable for FRAMIX-T and performed a walking experiment. From this result, we proved the high efficiency using insectile leg mechanism and the possibility of walking with improved stability and mobility.
