I am doing a project on a simple walking robot. It has 2 have a variable constraint mechanism. Do any of you guys can give ideas for my project with design ideas. Thanx
Howsit people. The design that we trying to consider is a hyperion type design. I have attached pics of a similar design. Could your'll please tell me how the driving mechanism for this robot works with its walking pattern. We are having problems figuring out the driving mechanism. Our task for the project is to make the robot go over an obstacle.
Then pleez could u give me any structural ideas for the legs. Like what kind of actuation to use, structural design. The robot that we designing has a variable constraint mechinism whichthe legs change length. If you can email me pics on [email protected]

The info on Hyperion seems pretty self explanitory.
This picture
Seems to show that while the weight of the robot is at one end of the body, a body motor "twists" to bring up one leg (tripod the other three) then the weight is linearly moved by another motor along the body to shift the center of gravity, and lift a rear leg. The legs themselves appear to be hinged to twist passively in pairs, so that there is a slight motion forward as the body weight shifts. Twist the body again the other way to get the other legs moving.
Not sure I see the advantage of this design, other than only requiring 2 motors for movement.
Just look at it. The rods Just look at it. The rods mounted at an angle cause the 2 legs to either both point inward or outward at the same time. This makes the robot walk like a dog or cat would. Look for videos showing how 4 legged animals walk and that should add some inspiration. As others have said post what you have so far and maybe others can help you fix your current solution. The typical way (I have tore apart a few 4 legged walking toys) is to have the left side and the right side working opposite ways (left leg is forward when the right leg is pointed backward) and the front is opposite from the back. Just like in the above picture. If you only want it to walk forward then 1 motor is required. If you want it to turn you need two motors.
