Substantiation of structure and parameters of pneumatic system of mobile robot with orthogonal walking drive

Problem statement. Mobile robots have awoken a large interest between scientists and designers in the last few years. One of the prospective drives of such robots is based on pneumatically operated system with no use of electric, heat, magnetic or other types of energy. Purpose. The main purpose of this research consists in substantiation of structure and parameters of pneumatic system of mobile robot with orthogonal walking drive.

Structure and Kinematic Synthesis of Crank-and-slider Walking Mechanism in Order to Ensure the Prescribed Path of Supporting Foot Motion

The prospects of usage of walking drives in mobile robotic systems are overviewed. The structure of crank-and-slider mechanism was synthesized on order to ensure the prescribed motion path of the supporting foot. The problems of kinematics of crank-and-slider mechanism are considered and the equations of the supporting foot motion are deduced. The geometrical parameters of the walking mechanism are determined taking into account the advanced values of step length and foot raising hight.
