Research on quadruped robots: Review and Prospect

Abstract

Compare with other mobile robot, quadruped robot has obvious advantages in terrain environment adaptability, motion flexibility and motion efficiency. This paper firstly makes a general introduction on the field of quadruped robot, expounds the development history of top performance quadruped robot and commercial quadruped robot. On this basis, this paper selects the main key technologies and core components of quadruped robot field to introduce, highlighting the uniqueness of quadruped robot compared with other mobile robots. In addition, combined with the current commercialization process of quadruped robot, this paper put forwards the future application prospects, development directions of quadruped robot. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the previous research results and provide useful guidance for robot designers to develop more efficient quadruped robots.
