This paper proposed a m.Sketch to search the optimal link lengths for a legged walking robot. In order to apply the m.Sketch for the proposed, set the design parameters of the constraints and use the m.Skecth to get optimal GL(Groud Length) and GAC(Ground Angle Coefficient). The legged robot designed based on four-bar linkage theory and Theo Jansen mechanism. The stride length of the legged walking robot was defined based on the proposed kinematic analysis. Use the Edison Design m.Sketch simulate and find the optimal link length having the best of the Ground Length (GL) and Ground Angle Coefficient(GAC). And use these length implemented the Theo Jansen mechanism both in Science box parts and acrylic. In addition to the further expansion of the legs to reach the goaltranslating heavy objects or person.

Jansen Mechanism has been a constant popularity by researchers studying legged robots because of many benefits. This paper proposed the design process of optimized legged robots using Jansen Mechanism and m.Sketch(Jansen Mechanism simulation software). First, driving part of legged robots is designed in compliance with the design regulations of a competitive exhibition. Second, setting the length of link and position of joint is conducted in keeping with the constraints. Third, Ground Length (GL) and Ground Angle Coefficient(GAC) values are extracted by m.Sketch simulation. Finally, by repeating the previous procedures, comparing the GL and GAC values, find the optimum input values. This.

This study has designed a walking mechanism that is able to pass by a variety of environments, such as slope, obstructions, special surface in there, the mechanism suggested by Janssen has shown an ideal bridge structure made of 11 joints. V in the study, these programs are use that is m-sketch, m-designer, Janssen mechanism optimization solver for the optimum design of m-sketch, 3D component reflecting the given strip dimension is used because there is a limit in the given. As a result, a stable mechanism for walking could be implemented.

In this paper, the multi-leg robot is designed using Teo Jansen mechanism. The purpose of this paper is to develop unique robot, which operates efficiently in any environment. In that case, speed and accuracy are required. The indication which evaluate the value is Ground Score according to the Jansen's mechanism. To optimize the Ground Score. Genetic Algorithm (GA) in MATLAB Toolbox is used, which is numerical analytic algorithm to quickly convergence into optimum point. The Optimization of value is visualized by M-Sketch. M-Sketch was useful for simulation and evaluation of mechanic's dynamic motion. The robot's draft is produced into finished product by Edison Designer.

In this study, important design factors in Jansen leg mechanism by which two legs can be driven by only one input like a motor are considered through method of transmitting motion in three-bar linkage and Grashof law in four-bar linkage. In preliminary design, by using EDISON m-sketch and its simulation which can observe trace of feet, two identical four-bar linkages are initially designed and two three-bar linkages are added to four-bar linkages sequentially. By analyzing GL(Ground Length) and GAC(Ground Angle Coefficient), the adequacy of the preliminary design was estimated. Final design of walking apparatus is implemented using CAD software, Assembly2 of EDISON Designer. Finally, proposals to improve software used in this study are suggested.

Jansen mechanism is composed of mechanical walking linkages that are designed and optimized by Theo Jansen in 1990. Although he has made optimum values for linkage dimensions for Jansen Mechanism, there are still various applications for this mechanism and also various optimum values for each application. In this paper, Jansen Mechanism optimization has been processed for the Science Box. The Science Box has its own linkage dimensions and related components and makes space for optimization process. For the optimization 3 to 4 linkage were selected which had no similar ratios of linkages between other applied Jansen mechanisms and to reduce experiment numbers. Response Surface Method was used with Minitab 17 for optimization and m.sketch was used for experimentation. Intuitive method had to be used to find optimum values as with RSM optimum value could not be found. EDISON Designer was used to make final CAD model with optimum values and laser cutter was used to get appropriate acryl panels for legs.

본 논문에서는 얀센 메커니즘을 활용한 보행 로봇의 궤적을 최적화 하기 위한 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 궤적의 최적화 목표는 지면에 닿는 시간이 길고 지면에 평행하며 빠른 이동을 위해 넓은 보폭을 생성 하는 것으로 두었다. 초기 값은 Edison design의 m.sketch를 사용하여 결정하였고 최적화 과정에서는 MATLAB을 사용하였으며 가능한 빠른 계산이 가능한 것에 초점을 두고 알고리즘을 작성하였다. 최적화된 결과 값에서는 지면에 닿는 궤적의 범위와 보폭의 크기, 궤적의 높이가 가장 큰 값을 결정하였다.

This study focus to make 8 legs robot based on Jansen's mechanism. In the process of making, we found GL(Ground length),GAC(Ground Angle Coefficient) and the height difference of tract and compare Several models with M.Sketch to find link's Length ratio Optimised simple walking and crossing of obstacles. In the process, our team Analyzed the difference ideal tract (Jansen holy number model's track) contrived by Jansen and our final model tract. As a result, we found optimal link's length ratio to over the obstacles and some features that our model differ from Jansen holy number model. It means that optimal link's length ratio depends on certain circumstances, perfect length ratio is nonexistent.

Recently, followed by rapid growth of robotics field, multi-linkage mechanism which can even pass by rough road is getting lots of attention. In this paper, I focused on Jansen mechanism. It's a kinematics object which is named after Dutch artist Theo jansen. Jansen mechanism embraces structure and mechanism which creates locomotion with the combination of the power and simple structure. Theo jansen suggests a 'Holy number'. It's an ideal ratio of leg components length. However, if there's desired gait locomotion, you have to adjust the ratio and the length. But even slight change of the length could cause a big change at the end-point. To solve this problem, I suggest a reverse engineering method to get a ratio of each links by nonlinear optimization with pre-set desired trajectory. First, we converted a movement of the joint of Jansen mechanism to vectors by kinematics analysis of multi-linkage structure. And we showed the trajectory at the end-point. After that, we set desired trajectory which we found most ideal. Then we got the length of the leg components which draws a trajectory as same as trajectory we set, using Multi-objective genetic algorithm toolbox in MATLAB. Result is verified by Edison designer and mSketch. And we analyzed if it could pass through the obstruction which is set dynamically.
