研究開発用小型四足歩行ロボットプラットフォームの開発

抄録

In recent years, research on quadruped robots with high capability for traversing rough terrain has been active. In particular, in order to realize not only locomotion but also autonomous navigation, including recognition of the environment, robots are equipped with many sensors and computers, and the size of the robots themselves are becoming larger and more expensive. Large-sized legged robots are not only expensive, but also difficult to operate with a small number of people. There are few small quadruped robots that are inexpensive and usable for research and development. multi-legged robot experiments are large-scale, making it difficult for a small number of people to conduct RD efficiently. Therefore, we will develop a new useful platform with highly available, low-cost, and small-sized hardware and flexible and extensible software.
