ABSTRACT:
A walking bi-pedal robot includes a right leg and a left leg, each coupled with a pelvis via hip lateral angular joints and hip antero-posterior angular joints. Each hip lateral angular joint enables lateral angular motion and each hip antero-posterior angular joint enables antero-posterior angular motion of the respective leg. Right and left feet couple at the distal end of the respective leg via respective ankle lateral angular joints and right and left cables. One end of each cable is coupled with the exterior side of the respective foot. A pelvis motor couples with the right leg, the left leg, the other end of each cable. The pelvis motor generates lateral angular displacement of each leg about the respective hip lateral angular joint and pulls one of the cables according to the direction of the lateral angular displacement. Leg motors generate antero-posterior angular displacement of the respective leg.
