Design and optimization of a one-degree-of-freedom eight-bar leg mechanism for a walking machine

It has been established that legged, off-road vehicles exhibit better mobility, obtain higher energy efficiency and provide more comfortable movement than those of tracked or wheeled vehicles while moving on rough terrain. Previous studies on legged mechanism design were performed by selecting the l...
