Robot Locomotion Mechanisms And Natural Movements

Locomotion Mechanisms
Hello everyone ,It has been very long since I posted in this blog .I have been busy with my new job and training .
I am going to write about different locomotion mechanisms.So far I've worked mainly with wheeled robots and a few legged robots.There are other types of motions like (Given below )
  • Flow in a Channel
  • Crawl
  • Sliding
  • Running
  • Jumping
  • Walking

One interesting locomotion that I found is the human walking.It is approximately equivalent to rolling polygon.with sides equal in length to the span of the step.You can see a detailed picture below .

The side of the polygon equals the span of the step.
