Overview of bio-inspired control mechanisms for hexapod robot

Abstract

This paper deals with overview of possible control mechanisms for hexapod robot. Basic characteristics of legged robots, a few existing robots and their pros and cons are described in the introduction of this paper. Main part of the paper is focused on the previous work done in the field of hexapod robot control, especially the usage of evolution techniques like neural networks and genetic algorithms. The last part of this paper is about a hexapod robot of our design.
