چکیده
The lightweight constructions and components stiffness play an important role in mechanics and in particular in high performance robots. In this paper the Virtual Prototyping Design (VPD) approach for addressing the robot design to this goal is shown. The VPD is applied to three mechanical problems of Walking Hydraulic Robots (WHRs): the first one deals with the leg joint sensitivity analysis; the second one concerns a force sensor optimization while the third one presents the torso structural verification. In all the aforementioned studies the experimental tests and the fitting analyses for model validation were carried out reaching satisfactory results.

Design for Several Hydraulic Parameters of a Quadruped Robot
For a quadruped robot with 12 active joints driven by linear hydraulic actuators, some important parameters, such as the oil flow of the hydraulic system and the needed maximum output force of each actuator, are hard to calculate precisely with kinematics and dynamics equations. The oil flow is mainly determined by the walking speed of the quadruped robot, but also influenced by the stride freq...
