The Stability Analysis of New Design of Insect Bio Inspired Eight-Legged Robot

Many types of mobile robots or mechanisms have been created so far and multi-legged robot locomotion is a novel area of researches. In this study a new design of insect bio inspired robot has been proposed. The main focus of this research is analysis of kinematics and dynamic simulation of an eight-legged robot based on the virtual prototype technology. To run a walking machine on any terrain, analysis of gait is needed. The basic design has been done by CATIA software based on the biological model of Arthropods. Modeling and simulation of eight-legged robot are carried out with CATIA DMU kinematic and ADAMS Multi body Dynamic solver. Displacement of center of gravity of robot s trunk body during periodic gait was analyzed. The finding of this research leads to more stable robot even in inclined plane.
