Purpose The purpose of this paper is specifically to provide a more intelligent locomotion planning method for a … hexapod robot based on trajectory optimization, which could reduce the complexity of locomotion design, shorten time of design … and generate efficient and accurate motion. Design/methodology/approach The authors generated locomotion for the hexapod …

by the multilevel extension compared with liner actuators. Furthermore, the rolling locomotion is improved to reduce … exterior shape is composed of four vertexes and six RRR chains. The mobile robot can achieve the rolling locomotion and reach … analyzed. Dynamics analysis of the robot falling process is carried out during the rolling locomotion, and the rolling …
