| dc.description.abstract | Six legged robot, or hexapod, is a kind of legged robots with static stability. The robot has many variants of leg movements. This should be taken into consideration by the robot designer. The research is to adopt a leg movement algorithm named inverse kinematics. Inverse kinematics is used to find each leg angle required to produce certain position of the end-effector. The experiments show that pulse width input can move the robot faster than that with end-effector displacement distance input. However, the distance input is more flexible due to its simplicity such that the user can input the desired end-effector displacement distance without relying on the pre-determined distances. The inverse kinematics algorithm has been developed, although it is not able to avoid or circumvent the barriers. | en |
