Modern Walking Robots: A Brief Overview

Abstract

In this review, we would like to present some of the most interesting modern designs of walking robots: bipedal, quadropedal, hexopedal, and octopods. Their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. It has been determined that structures with eight or more limbs are ineffective due to high level of electricity consumption. The use of more than six number of legs does not give noticeable advantages in profile cross-country ability or maneuverability, however, it allows to reduce the forces and moments of inertia forces due to decrease in mode coefficient (ratio of time spent by propulsor in support to time of entire step), and, consequently, smoother leg movements in swing phase.

How Can XR Enhance Collaboration with CAD/CAE Tools in Remote Design Reviews?

“…CAD/CAE is an incredibly diverse field, making it challenging to define a one-sizefits-all set of collaborative and XR functionalities that CAE software needs [15]. Rather than attempting to encompass all CAD/CAE tools, it is more effective to study what collaborative and XR features might be needed in specific stages or tasks within the product realization process.…”
