Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SIX-LEGGED ROBOT FOR MINE RESCUE SYSTEM 1, * 2 Katakam Prashanth , Dr. K. Ankamma * Correspondence Author 1. Mr. Katakam Prashanth, 2nd M.Tech Student, Department of Mechanical Engg., MGIT, Gandipet, Hyderabad-75, India, [email protected] 2. Dr. K.Ankamma, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engg., MGIT, Gandipet, Hyderabad-75,email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Underground mining is best with numerous problems such as ground movement (fall of roof/sides), inundation, air blast, etc.; apart from gas explosions and dust explosions that are restricted to coal mines. Whatever may be the cause and type of accident or the extent of damage caused, it is a horrendous task for the rescue team to reach the trapped miners. The accident/irrespirable zone contains increased levels of harmful gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and explosive gases like methane apart from a deficiency of Oxygen. The entire gallery or roadway is filled with dust and smoke, or water in case of inundation, hindering the visibility of rescue personnel. Thus, it is not an ideal situation for the rescue team to perform the operations. The first few hours after the disaster are the critical moments that could be the difference between life and death of the trapped miners. Hence, the ideal solution in such cases would be to deploy a wireless 6-legged robot equipped with various gas sensors, ultrasonic sensors, PIR sensor and vision system to aid visibility even in extremely low light conditions. This project reviews some notable examples from the past and highlights designing and developing a 6-legged robot meeting such requirements for mine rescue robots along with some limitations encountered in the design of such robots. -
Design and Implementation of a Quadruped Amphibious Robot Using Duck Feet
robotics Article Design and Implementation of a Quadruped Amphibious Robot Using Duck Feet Saad Bin Abul Kashem 1,*, Shariq Jawed 2 , Jubaer Ahmed 2 and Uvais Qidwai 3 1 Faculty of Robotics and Advanced Computing, Qatar Armed Forces—Academic Bridge Program, Qatar Foundation, 24404 Doha, Qatar 2 Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Swinburne University of Technology, 93350 Sarawak, Malaysia 3 Faculty of Computer Engineering Signal and Image Processing Qatar University, 24404 Doha, Qatar * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 April 2019; Accepted: 27 August 2019; Published: 5 September 2019 Abstract: Roaming complexity in terrains and unexpected environments pose significant difficulties in robotic exploration of an area. In a broader sense, robots have to face two common tasks during exploration, namely, walking on the drylands and swimming through the water. This research aims to design and develop an amphibious robot, which incorporates a webbed duck feet design to walk on different terrains, swim in the water, and tackle obstructions on its way. The designed robot is compact, easy to use, and also has the abilities to work autonomously. Such a mechanism is implemented by designing a novel robotic webbed foot consisting of two hinged plates. Because of the design, the webbed feet are able to open and close with the help of water pressure. Klann linkages have been used to convert rotational motion to walking and swimming for the animal’s gait. Because of its amphibian nature, the designed robot can be used for exploring tight caves, closed spaces, and moving on uneven challenging terrains such as sand, mud, or water. -
Mechanism, Actuation, Perception, and Control of Highly Dynamic Multilegged Robots: a Review Jun He and Feng Gao*
He and Gao Chin. J. Mech. Eng. (2020) 33:79 https://doi.org/10.1186/s10033-020-00485-9 Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering REVIEW Open Access Mechanism, Actuation, Perception, and Control of Highly Dynamic Multilegged Robots: A Review Jun He and Feng Gao* Abstract Multilegged robots have the potential to serve as assistants for humans, replacing them in performing dangerous, dull, or unclean tasks. However, they are still far from being sufciently versatile and robust for many applications. This paper addresses key points that might yield breakthroughs for highly dynamic multilegged robots with the abilities of running (or jumping and hopping) and self-balancing. First, 21 typical multilegged robots from the last fve years are surveyed, and the most impressive performances of these robots are presented. Second, current developments regarding key technologies of highly dynamic multilegged robots are reviewed in detail. The latest leg mechanisms with serial-parallel hybrid topologies and rigid–fexible coupling confgurations are analyzed. Then, the development trends of three typical actuators, namely hydraulic, quasi-direct drive, and serial elastic actuators, are discussed. After that, the sensors and modeling methods used for perception are surveyed. Furthermore, this paper pays special attention to the review of control approaches since control is a great challenge for highly dynamic multilegged robots. Four dynamics-based control methods and two model-free control methods are described in detail. Third, key open topics of future research concerning the mechanism, actuation, perception, and control of highly dynamic multilegged robots are proposed. This paper reviews the state of the art development for multilegged robots, and discusses the future trend of multilegged robots. -

A multi-objective optimization of the mechanism’s geometric parameters is performed using a genetic algorithm to highlight the trade-off between two conflicting objectives and se- lect an appropriate compromise. The first of those objective functions measures the leg’s passive adaptation capability through a calculation of the input torque required to initiate the desired sliding motion along an obstacle. -

Passive Variable Compliance for Dynamic Legged Robots Abstract Recent developments in legged robotics have found that constant stiffness passive compliant legs are an effective mechanism for enabling dynamic locomotion. In spite of its success, one of the limitations of this approach is reduced adaptability. The final leg mechanism usually performs optimally for a small range of conditions such as the desired speed, payload, and terrain. For many situations in which a small locomotion system experiences a change in any of these conditions, it is desirable to have a tunable stiffness leg for effective gait control. To date, the mechanical complexities of designing usefully robust tunable passive compliance into legs has precluded their implementation on practical running robots. In this thesis we present an overview of tunable stiffness legs, and introduce a simple leg model that captures the spatial compliance of our tunable leg. We present experimental evidence supporting the advantages of tunable stiffness legs, and implement what we believe is the first autonomous dynamic legged robot capable of automatic leg stiffness adjustment. -
Design and Integration of a Novel Robotic Leg Mechanism for Dynamic Locomotion at High-Speeds
Design and Integration of a Novel Robotic Leg Mechanism for Dynamic Locomotion at High-Speeds Vinaykarthik R. Kamidi Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering Pinhas Ben-Tzvi, Chair Alexander Leonessa Tomonari Furukawa December 19, 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Legged Locomotion , Mechanism & Design Copyright 2017, Vinaykarthik R. Kamidi Design and Integration of a Novel Robotic Leg Mechanism for Dynamic Locomotion at High-Speeds Vinaykarthik R. Kamidi ABSTRACT Existing state-of-the-art legged robots often require complex mechanisms with multi-level controllers and computationally expensive algorithms. Part of this is owed to the multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) these intricate mechanisms possess and the other is a result of the complex nature of dynamic legged locomotion. The underlying dynamics of this class of non-linear systems must be addressed in order to develop systems that perform natural human/animal-like locomotion. However, there are no stringent rules for the number of DOFs in a system; this is merely a matter of the locomotion requirements of the system. In general, most systems designed for dynamic locomotion consist of multiple actuators per leg to address the balance and locomotion tasks simultaneously. In contrast, this research hypothesizes the decoupling of locomotion and balance by omitting the DOFs whose primary purpose is dynamic disturbance rejection to enable a far simplified mechanical design for the legged system. This thesis presents a novel single DOF mechanism that is topologically arranged to execute a trajectory conducive to dynamic locomotive gaits. -

But for the places like stair, uneven surfaces, the wheel movement is not suitable. The human beings moving easily on the stairs due to flexibility in the legs as it functions like links connected with joints. Various mechanisms are used with imitating the leg movements of animals for the rough terrain maneuver. Two most effective leg mechanisms used are JoeKlann’s mechanism which resembles a spider leg and Theo Jansen’s mechanism which resembles a human leg.This paper discussesabout the development of spider mechanism (Klan’s mechanism) for any rough terrain motions. By spider mechanism (Klann’s mechanism) with random movements it is possible to combine the moment of walking as well as wheel movement. The walking mechanism is well known for rough terrain movement and the wheel movement of the mechanism results in fast movement for smooth surfaces. The function of the controlling device is to identify the type of surface and change over to required feature to move forward. -

The wheels are the main components of the transportation vehicle. Without wheels the vehicle cannot move from its stationary state. But this wheel is having few drawbacks. We know wheels can catch grip on normal roads easily. But these wheels slip on wet areas, snowy region, in muddy region and also on high elevation. So to allow vehicles to move on such areas the wheels can be replaced by the insect walking gait pattern. The best effective leg mechanisms are Joe Klann’s Mechanism and Theo Jansen’s Mechanism. By using Joe Klann Mechanism the wheel gets look of spider leg. The purpose of our paper is to make the wheeled vehicle to move in muddy regions, high elevation, etc by reinstating the wheels with insect gait (with insect leg). This is useful in dangerous material handlings, detecting and clearing the explosive minefields without making any harm to human troops. Keywords: Wheels, Joe Klann Mechanism, Theo Jansen Mechanism, Explosive Minefields, Human Troop. I. INTRODUCTION Walking mechanisms are built up in such a way that they move same as the insects move. -
