A Tetrahedral Walker (TET Walker) is a robot made to extend space exploration into inaccessible regions. The motion of the tetrahedron is due to the changes in the struts length. This work presents the implementation and walking gait design of a tetrahedron walker robot. A model for walking gait of the robot is developed. A comparison is then made between different computer simulations of the gaits. A navigation algorithm for walking gait of this type of robots is also developed and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
