Master-slave quadruped walking robot

Abstract

The real time recognition of the environment and the decision of the control signal to each actuator are very important for control of a walking robot on rough terrain. Techniques are not perfect at present. So, we propose master-slave quadruped walking robots using radio control devices, which can use efficiently the recognition and control function of a human. In the paper, we describe experiments for walking using a prototype of a master-slave quadruped walking robot. This robot can walk forward and backward on even terrain, and can get over low steps. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed master-slave quadruped walking robot.
