Abstract

This research presents the development of a six-legged walking robot namely Giacometti Robot and its leg design mechanism using thin soft actuator. The robot is aimed to have long, light and thin legs taking concept from Giacometti's sculptural technique. The robot prototype has 12 DOF with 2 DOF at each leg and was tested with basic walking locomotion. Result shows the robot successfully demonstrates basic walking motion.
