Robot-Crawler: Statically Balanced Gaits
2012
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems
This paper presents a new statically balanced walking technique for a robot-crawler. The gait design and the control of the robot crawler aim to achieve stability while walking. ...
In order to reduce the risk of stability loss while walking, a measure for the robot stability (so-called stability margin) is typically used in the gait and motion planning. ...
The data captured is then transferred to the Motion Capture Analysis tool which models a 3D view of the object captured. ...
