Development of novel robot via computer aided engineering

This paper describes the development of a small robot using a novel mechanism. The robot performs bipedal locomotion using a pendulum unlike existing bipedal robots. The number of servomotors is also considered, and a mechanism that minimizes the number of axes required to raise and walk a leg, and a novel walk theory, are proposed. This walking is named “teko teko walking.” CAE is used to perform simulation and design verification by a computer, and a low cost, efficient CAE-based development method is proposed.
