Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new type of hexapod robot that can walk fast. Most of the conventional hexapod robots are either rectangular type of hexagonal type. Those robots have drawbacks in the speed and stability of walking. The proposed robot has six legs, one fore leg, one hind leg, two left legs and two right legs. The proposed robot forms relatively wide supporting polygons along the walking direction, so it can walk very fast stably. We implemented the proposed hexapod robot and showed the feasibility of the robot by 3+3 walking experiment and 2+4 walking experiment.
