Kinematic Analysis of Modified Theo Jansen Mechanism-Based Robot Made of ABS

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

This paper shows the kinematic analysis of an intellectual model of a surveillance robot. The objective is to do surveillance on any terrain especially in muddy areas or dessert. This robot is having eight legs which are controlled by two motors. The mechanism used to make these legs is MODIFIED THEO JANSEN MECHANISM, which is an animal walking pattern. For surveillance, a rotating camera is used which works on its own module. Arduino is used for controlling the robot, and that Arduino takes power from battery. This is the first Spider robot which will be made by Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material.
