Bionic amphibious robots are receiving attention and significant interest from the civil and
military sectors since they can move on land and swim underwater. When develo** a …

In this review, we would like to present some of the most interesting modern designs of
walking robots: bipedal, quadropedal, hexopedal, and octopods. Their advantages and …

This paper first uses a decoupling modeling method to model legged robots. The method
groups all the degrees of freedom according to the number of limbs, regarding each limb as …

In this paper, we studied numerically both kinematic and dynamic models of a biologically
inspired mammal-like octopod robot walking with a tetrapod gait. Three different nonlinear …

The wind powered walking mechanism is proposed that is able to perform a self-sustained
up-wind motion. The device consists of the Chebyshev plantigrade machine and a wind …

In this chapter, we developed and investigated numerically a general kinematic model of a
multi-legged hybrid robot equipped with a crab-like and/or mammallike legs. To drive the …

With the increasing demand for ocean exploration, amphibious robots can integrate the
advantages of underwater and land robots, and can achieve detection on land, underwater …

A purpose of the paper was to create a mathematical approach to assess a human gait. The
scope of the study was to model a normal gait in the sagittal plane and frontal plane of the …

The aim of this study was to create multibody biomechanical models to analyze a normal
gait of the human. Proposed models can be used to identify joint moments of the lower limbs …

Legged robots are adaptable to uneven terrain and well suited for navigation and
exploration. However, their advanced maneuverability comes at the cost of complex inverse …
