Design of a Biomimetic Mechanical Leg and Accompanying Sensor System for Terrain Detection
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerAutonomous robots are useful in a wide range of applications. However, finding a balance between speed and stability in an autonomous robot can be difficult. The goal of this project was to design a biomimetically-inspired robotic leg and accompanying sensor system for detecting terrain; the mechanical leg and sensor system designs in combination are intended to enable a quadruped robot to move quickly while maintaining its stability. In order to accomplish this goal, a leg was designed based on the leg of a cheetah and the team performed a variety of mechanical analyses on it. Additionally, the output from a force sensor landing on hard and muddy surfaces was collected and algorithms for determining which of the two surfaces the robot was walking on were developed.
