Design and Experimental Study of Bidirectional Deformable Hexapod Robot

The hexapod robot simulates the movement mode of many kinds of insects and mammals through bionics, it has a high performance in complex environment. In this paper, a bidirectional deformable foot for hexapod robot was designed, and the influence of deformable foot pitch on the maximum stress of a spring steel with deformable angle is analyzed by finite element simulation, and a prototype was designed. Finally, the motion performance of the hexapod robot was verified by using C-legged, and the synchronized gait on flat ground, triangle gait on flat ground, jumping experiment of the hexapod robot was designed, which proved that the hexapod robot could reach the expected design goal.
