(H3)Walking Motion Control of a Centipede Walking Robot

Aming to develop available centipede walking robot, a novel robott composed of many leg mechanism units of two planar 4-bar linkage connected with passive revolute pairs is proposed. The straight walk is quite easy. The novel contrl method to realize turing walk not by adding extra actuators but controling phase difference between units is developed. A prototype can achieve the desired turnig walk.
