The Locomotion of Bipedal Walking Robot with Six Degree of Freedom

A bipedal walking robot is a type of humanoid robot which mimics like human being and can be programmed to perform some tasks as required. In this paper, a prototype robot is built to provide a test bed for the physical locomotion that is used to control the robot movements such as moving forward, backward, turn left and right, get up from front and back, rollover from left and right. The paper also describes how the bipedal robot is built; how the movement steps are obtained and the detection when it falls down. The movement of the robot also can be controlled by using a remote controller. This bipedal robot can assist human to carry out the tasks or activities in hazardous environment. This could eliminate human's risk of injury or life casualty. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
