Abstract

Legged robots have great potential to travel across
rough terrain, but they mostly move quite slow. This paper
deals with the design and construction of a omni-directional
seven degrees of freedom hexapod (i.e. six-legged) robot which is equipped with
a horizontal coxa joint. The wheels can be used in flat terrain so the robot can
reach higher speeds and additional coxa joint makes the robot more robust when
climbing in rough terrain. The robot is controlled by terrain adaptive movement
controller, which reacts on terrain difficulty and adjusts robot movement speed
and gait.
