This paper describes a static gait generation process and a mechanical design process of leg mechanisms for quadruped robots. Actually robot walking is realized with the joint motion of leg mechanisms. In order to calculate the time-angle trajectories for each joint of leg mechanisms, we generate end-tip trajectories with time for each leg in the global inertial coordinate system intuitively, followed by coordinate transformations of the trajectories into the local coordinates system fixed in each leg, finally the angle-time trajectories of each joint of leg mechanisms are obtained with inverse kinematics. The stability of the gait generated in this paper was verified by a multi-body dynamic analysis using the commercial software $ADAMS^{(R)}$. Additionally the mechanical specifications such as gear reduction ratio, electrical specifications of motor and electrical power consumption during walking have been confirmed by the multi-body dynamic analysis. Finally we constructed a small quadruped robot and confirmed the gait.

This paper addresses the design and the gait control of quadruped walking robot. First, we concern the mechanical and electronical(control system) hardware of walking robot, and the second is the results of experiments. The walking robot is the most suitable form to substitute fot human being. So walking robot is worthy of research. The quadruped walking robot and control system is the simplest type of walking robot, therefore we designed a small seale robot for realization of static gait. The robot is designed commpactly and its legs are constructed parallel link type and able to move freely in space. Control system consists of one upper level controller and four lower level controllers. The upper level controller plans the walking path and commands the low level controllers to follow the planned path. The main function of low level cotrollers is control of motors. Total number of motors is twealve and they operate four legs. And robot is ordered to walk and realize static wave gait.

본 논문에서는 육족 보행 로봇의 새로운 힘 분배 알고리듬을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 고려하는 육족 보행 로봇은 다리 하나에 관절고착고장이 발생하여 내고장성 정적 세다리 걸음새로 보행한다. 제안되는 힘 분배 알고리듬의 핵심은 내고장성 걸음새가 가지는 안정여유도를 결정하는 지지 다리의 미끄러짐을 최소화시키는 것이다. 불연속적으로 움직이는 내고장성 세다리 걸음새는 정상 걸음새보다 안정도가 떨어진다는 약점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 힘 분배 알고리듬은 이러한 약점을 고려하여 내고장성 걸음새의 지지 다리가 세 개라는 성질과 Zero-Interaction Force 원리를 이용하여 최적화 기법을 쓰지 않고 대수적으로 모든 다리의 힘 성분을 구한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 사례 연구를 통해서 제안된 힘 분배 알고리듬과 기존 방법의 비교 분석을 실시하고 제안된 방법의 효용성을 입증한다.

본 논문에서는 곤충형 다리 구조를 갖는 4족 로봇의 정적 계단 보행 시 계단과의 충돌 제약이 없는 효율적인 걸음새 궤적 생성 방법을 제안한다. 우선 4족 로봇의 순기구학 및 역기구학 모델을 각기 대수학적 방법과 기하학적 방법으로 유도한다. 제안한 방법에서는 보행 시작 위치에서 수직 상승 후 사인 파형의 계단 보행 궤적을 생성하고, 계단과의 충돌을 피하기 위한 보행 궤적의 계수를 설정한다. 또한 안정적인 계단 보행을 위한 걸음새 순서를 결정한다. 마지막으로, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 계단 보행 방법의 효용성 및 실제 적용 가능성을 검증한다.

The problem of controlling static gaits for a quadruped walking robot is investigated. A theoretical approach to gait study is proposed in which the static stability margins for periodic gaits are expressed in terms of the kinematic gait formula. The effects fo the stride length on static stability are analyzed and the relations between static stability and initial body configurations are examined. It is shown that the moving velocity can be increased to some extent without affecting stability margins for a given initial body configuration. Computer simulations are performed to verify the analysis.

A necessity of remote control robots or various searching robots etc. that accomplish works given instead of human under long distance and extreme environment such as volcano, universe, deep-sea exploration and nuclear power plant etc. is increasing, and so the development and the research regarding these mobile robots are actively progressing. The wheel mobile robot or the track mobile robot have a sufficient energy efficiency under this en, but also have a lot of limits to accomplish works given which are caused from the restriction of mobile ability. Therefore, recently many researches for the walking robot with superior mobility and energy efficiency on the terrain, which is uneven or where obstacles, inclination and stairways exist, have been doing. The research for these walking robots is separated into fields of mechanism and control system, gait research, circumference environment and system condition recognition etc. greatly. It is a research field that the gait research among these is the centralist in actual implementation of walking robot unlike different mobile robots. A research field for gait of walking robot is classified into two parts according to the nature of the stability and the walking speed, static gait or dynamic gait. While the speed of a static gait is lower than that of a dynamic gait, a static gait which moves the robot to maintain a static stability guarantees a superior stability relatively. A dynamic gait, which make the robot walk controlling the instability caused by the gravity during the two leg supporting period and so maintaining the stability of the robot body spontaneously, is suitable for high speed walking but has a relatively low stability and a difficulty in implementation compared with a static gait. The quadruped walking robot has a strong point that can embody these gaits together. In this research, we will develope an autonomous quadruped robot with an asaptibility to the environment by selectry appropriate gait, element such as duty factor, stride, trajectory, etc.
