| Abstract | The purpose of this thesis project is to develop a three legged robot capable of walking in irregular terrain. This is still a kind of robot that has not seen a much progress since there is not in nature real three legged animals capable of walking (at least, they we're not found yet) which makes it an interesting platform for research. This work could also be used (tough not on the objectives of this project) to study how a quadruped robot, that lost a leg, can still move itself. The robot should have a low number of motors and have a good autonomy. Each leg will have 3 DOF to limit complexity and power consumption. It will be a custom build. A model that describes the robot must be used so it can be controlled dynamically. The implementation is divided into two major areas: Mechanics and Embedded Systems. Working in both fields is required to optimize the implementation. |
