Hexapod walking robots have attracted considerable attention for several decades. Many
studies have been carried out in research centers, universities and industries. However, only …

The objective of this paper is to present the evolution and the state-of-the-art in the area of
legged locomotion systems. In a first phase different possibilities for implementing mobile …

In this chapter a comprehensive literature survey has been carried out for multi-legged
robots. Different aspects of multi-legged robot locomotion pertaining to kinematic, dynamics …

Abstract Ocean Worlds such as Europa and Enceladus are known to harbor subsurface
liquid water oceans under their icy crust and are high-priority targets for in situ exploration …

This paper deals with a detailed analysis on kinematics, dynamics, stability and energy
consumption of a realistic six-legged robot. The aim of this study is to extend a previous work …

The ability of walking in a wide variety of terrains is one of the most important features of
hexapod insects. In this paper we describe a bio-inspired controller able to generate …

In this paper, distribution of required forces and moments to the supporting legs of a six-
legged robot is handled as a torque-distribution problem. This approach is comparatively …

With the advantages of high flexibility, strong adaptability, etc., the legged robot can help
humans to complete numerous complicated tasks. In this paper, a kind of reconfigurable …

Insects exhibit adaptive walking behavior in an unstructured environment, despite having
only an extremely small number of neurons (10 5 to 10 6). This suggests that not only the …

Purpose–At present, more than 100 million undetonated landmines left over from wars
remain buried worldwide. These mines kill or injure approximately 3,000 individuals each …
