Am trying to design a wall climbing robot using a 4-bar linkage mechaism but cant find any info on what linkage lengths will optimize the whole climbing motion. i tried using 8 legs; 4 internally and the others outside the body frame to try and prevent rocking
There are many 4-bar linkage designs that can be used to optimise different properties. Are you looking for maximum stride length? High strength? Low profile?
The photos you’ve supplied doesn’t give a very good indication of the overall design, and it is impossible to discern the feet/claws/whatever that the robot will be using to stick to the wall.
stride length will beof great importance since the robot climbs a fence not a wall and i thot of using a hook as the end-effector of each leg since we have very limited programming allowances
