description |
Although wheeled robots are commonly
used, it has limited ability to move to any terrains at
ease. They suffer from difficulties when travelling
over uneven and rough terrains. Legged robots have
an advantage over the wheeled robots in that they are
suited for such situations. The implementation of
legged robots normally requires many motors to move
every joint in a robot leg. Additional motor will
increase the construction cost, robot weight, and the
demand for power supply. Moreover, robot
simulation becomes more complex. This research is
related to the design and development of a cost
effective quadruped autonomous robot. The robot can
moves according to a unique pattern using three servo
motors as its actuator in each of its leg. The design of
the robot is firstly made with CAD program and then
the structure of the body and the leg is analyzed in
order to find a correct balance and to make sure the
servo motors are capable to move the robot. A
prototype of the quadruped robot is fabricated and
tested thoroughly. Experimental studies are carried
out to test its stability issues when the robot moves.
The robot is capable of moving forward, backward, turn left and turn right by crawling its way. A microcontroller is used as the brain of the robot assisted by two analog distance sensor for better obstacle sensing. It uses a rechargeable battery as the power supply for the microcontroller. The servo motors on the other hand are powered by another rechargeable battery. At the end of this research, a working prototype has been developed. |
