| Summary: | This project is an attempt at formulation of general methods to simulate
the locomotion of multi-legged creatures. Adapting studies ranging from
biological mechanics to robotics, this project consolidates various similar
concepts proposed and methods which are intuitively logical, to construct
a method of simulating and animating the locomotion of multi-legged creatures.
Using a test creature of ten legs, motion and control modules are
developed. It was found that without realistic parameters, the spring-force
motion model yields unrealistic locomotion. Hence, a feasible motion module
was developed intuitively through modelling after inverted pendulums. |
