Design and prototype of a six‐legged walking insect robot

Abstract

Purpose This paper seeks to develop a novel legged robot. Design/methodology/approach First, the paper models the legged robot using 3D computer model by intelligent inspiration of biological principles. Then, based on this model, it develops the prototype of the legged robot. Findings A novel motion mechanism is used and only two actuators are used for driving the system. Originality/value The modelled legged robot is original in terms of the developed motion mechanism.
