Design and prototype of a six‐legged walking insect robot

Purpose – This paper seeks to develop a novel legged robot. Design/methodology/approach – First, the paper models the legged robot using 3D computer model by intelligent inspiration of biological principles. Then, based on this model, it develops the prototype of the legged robot. Findings – A novel motion mechanism is used and only two actuators are used for driving the system. Originality/value – The modelled legged robot is original in terms of the developed motion mechanism.
