并行机控制的六足机器人是由英国科学和工程研究委员会和贸工部支持的项目,项目的主要实施单位为索尔福德大学。机器人呈爬虫状,由并行机实行实时控制。该机器人可跟踪移动物体,如人的行动。机器人长40厘米,两腿间跨距为40厘米,重1.5公斤,其显著特点是由四个分立的单元组成:头部单元和以每一双腿为一单元的三个单元。每一双腿单元均有并行机、电子电路和电源,自成体系,可独立行动。三个双腿单元联在一起后,整体功能有所改进,能够漫步或越过障碍物。具有探测传感 The parallel machine-controlled hexapod robot is a project supported by the British Science and Engineering Research Council and the Department of Trade and Industry. The project’s main implementation unit is the University of Salford. Robot was reptile, real-time control by the parallel machine. The robot tracks moving objects, such as human actions. The robot is 40 centimeters long and 40 centimeters across the legs. It weighs 1.5 kilos and is distinguished by four discrete units: the head unit and three units with each pair of legs. Each leg unit has a parallel machine, electronic circuits and power supply, self-contained system, can act independently. The three-legged unit together, the overall function has improved, able to walk or cross the obstacles. With detection sensor
