BIOMIMETIC WALKING ROBOT PROJECT

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Yeditepe University

Yeditepe Biped Project

Vehicles using legged locomotion are good alternatives to wheeled or tracked vehicles because of their mobility. Legged locomotion provides comfort in transportation by isolating the vehicle from terrain irregularities.

Walking robots could be used to improve human welfare, to provide more comfortable living environments, for military operations, search and rescue operations and recreational activities.

In this project, a biomimetic bipedal robot will be designed and manufactured. Project involves mechanical, electrical, control system design and integration. The robot structure will be based on human lower extremity with antropomorphic dimensions. Biomimetics and passive dynamic walking principles will be applied in mechanical and control system design of the robot. Design of an energy efficient, human-like walking robot will be aimed.
