CONTROL OF QUADRUPED ROBOT FOR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

Quadrupeds are fascinating robots that come under the class of walking robots. The main advantages of these robots are that they are very adaptable to the rough environment. There are many different control schemes that exist in making these robots mobile and robust. This report contains some of the work that has been done in this field and briefly describes the various techniques used by the authors. Researchers have tried to use various sensors to enable the robot to visualize its surroundings, and some have tried to make it robust by completely eliminating the vision and range sensors. The work and the research gaps have been discussed and analyzed and based on this data further work is done.
