Abstract  

The tripod gait was used in turning gait with constant radius of six-legged walking robot. The planning method for turning gait with constant radius based on the tripod gait was presented which simplifies the turning gait of six-legged walking robot. The method using line segments to track the circle trajectory of center of gravity of the six-legged walking robot was employed to the turning gait with constant radius. An approach to calculate the maximum turning angle of the six-legged walking robot was proposed based on stability constraint and motion constraint. Different turning angles were applied in the turning gait with constant radius of the six-legged walking robot to improve the turning ability in every step when the two groups of legs support the robot respectively. A simulation was conducted with MATLAB and ADAMS to verify the turning gait with constant radius of the six-legged walking robot. Results show that the turning gait with constant radius is correct.
