A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If 1 or 2 legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk.
Basically, a hexapod uses 3 or 6 actuators but here we have designed the robot in such a manner that it can work properly by using just 1 or 2 motors. For such design, I have utilized 4-bar mechanism and not one or two here I have used six 4-bar mechanisms.
What is a 4-bar mechanism?
Innovation
Basically, the innovation is in the Design of the hexapod, by merging three 4-bar mechanisms each side we made a planer mechanism which can be run by just one motor.
Here I have shown all 4-bar mechanism by different colours line on linkages
After Designing the mechanism now its time to do some analysis, For analysis, I have used Adams.
