Nontraditional Drives for Walking Robots

  • Conference paper
Climbing and Walking Robots

Abstract

The results of a series of researches on the new nontraditional drives are presented. These drives with changing transmission ratio and dual properties have been developed for walking machines, whose working elements make movements with stop and stoppage. Analytical calculations, simulations and experiments with prototypes confirmed a high effectiveness of the designed drives.
