Design and locomotion analysis of a close-chain leg-wheel mobile platform
Purpose
To take the advantages of terrain-adaptive capability of legged platform and fast-moving ability of wheeled platform, this paper aims to design a leg-wheel mobile platform for obstacle surmounting and analyze the feasibility and locomotivity of different moving modes.
Design/methodology/approach
The platform consists of six leg-wheel units. Each of the units has a close-chain mechanical leg and an actuated wheel at the end of the leg. The platform moves with two modes: legged mode and leg-wheel composite mode. The legged mode achieves high mobility driven by crank motors, while the leg-wheel composite mode achieves obstacle-surmounting ability actuated by crank motors and pitch link motors and obtains high efficiency with the hub motors. The gait planning in different modes has been carried out and the obstacle-surmounting capacity has been analyzed.
Findings
Based on the results of kinematic analysis and gait planning of the close-chain leg-wheel platform, the high mobility and efficiency obstacle-surmounting ability are demonstrated with the two movement modes. The feasibility of the design and the performance of the mobile platform is verified with the prototype experiment. The results of this paper show that the platform possesses good obstacle-surmounting capability.
Originality/value
The work presented in this paper is a novel exploration to design a close-chain leg mechanism and with an actuated wheel in series. The close-chain leg mechanism has the advantages of high leg lift and single degree of freedom characteristics, which makes the platform obtain the ability of obstacle-surmounting.
