The optimal gait pattern in hexapods based on energetic e ciency
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gait transition during locomotion in legged animals is an attractive phenomenon from the point of view of both robotics and biology. In this paper we will show by means of a mathematical model that the optimal gait pattern is selected according to energetic e ciency, including the energy loss due to the heat emissions of actuators.

Evaluation of optimal step length in a seven-link model with margin of stability method
In a walking cycle design, maximizing the upright balance should be considered in addition to the kinematic constraints, energy consumption rate must be considered. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal step length obtained for each person according to the physical features. In this research, in order to minimize energy consumption rate by considering maximum balance two cost functio...
متن کاملImage-based Method for Determining Better Walking Strategies for Hexapods
An intelligent walking strategy is vital for multi-legged robots possessing no a priori information of an environ‐ ment when traversing across discontinuous terrain. Sixlegged robots outperform other multi-legged robots in static and dynamic stability. However, hexapods require careful planning to traverse across discontinuous terrain. A hexapod walking strategy can be accomplished using a visi...
