A Study on the Footholds Selection for Quadruped Walking Vehicle

4족 보행 로봇의 착지점 선정에 관한 연구

Inadequate footholds selection may result in deadlock state where the walking vehicle can not anymore to the desired direction. This paper concerns about the footholds selection for quadruped v, vehicle to walk with the leg lifting sequence of crawl gait which is desired for straight motion. supporting states for lifting a leg are defined and the proper supporting condition for quadruped c: also proposed. When selecting a footholds of swing leg within the proposed footholds searching are; supporting states after the swing legs are placed, satisfy the proper supporting condition. So it can I for quadruped to execute continuous walking with the lifting sequence of crawl gait.
