Bipedal robots tend to have greater mobility than conventional treaded or wheeled robots yet they are commonly complicated by instabilities in balance. This paper presents a bipedal robot based upon Jansen’s locomotive mechanism which addresses these challenges in stability and efficiency. In order to achieve a functioning robot, we considered a multitude of variables in its motion including, the Ground Score, Drag Score, step size, foot lift, stride, and instantaneous speed of the Jansen mechanism. Matlab and Jansen Opt solver were used to optimize the legs of the robot. A trial and error experimental method was used to determine the best combination of link lengths, and m.Sketch was used to model our results. Finally, we drew the entirety of the robot’s figure by using the Edison design.

The Theo Jansen mechanism using 1 degree of freedom is special system of walking robot. The trajectory made by the point of ground position is similar to other walking robot using many degrees of freedom. Because of diversity of design parameter of the Jansen mechanism, it makes a lot of trajectory and takes possibilities of optimization. However this research doesn’t focus on the optimization of trajectory, but it focused on comprehensive design of the robot using well-known trajectory and line tracer logic to go fast and accurate along the line. The logic to follow a line has many kinds of possibility of algorithm. To eliminate uncertainty about recognizing a line, I divide the case of line following situation and make optimized logic.

Based on the Jansen mechanism theory, a walking robot is developed, which is able to trace a line. In order to find the optimized legs, GL(Ground Length), GAC(Ground Angle Coefficient) and Grashof criteria are utilized in m.sketch program as well as EdisonDesign program. Many types of design are applied to sensors and controls, and the functionality is checked. Finally, a prototype line tracer robot is manufactured using aduino parts and smart boards. The prototype robot is test run to check the validity of the design, and modifications are applied to improve the performance according to each test result until the best design is achieved.

"I use Jansen mechanism to reduce the unnecessary motion of car body and improve the motion performance capability in the rugged terrain To reduce the unnecessary motion, the positional variation of a main body of vehicle should be minimized. In order to reduce the change of height and control the speed at every moment when vehicle move, 16 legs or more are installed on a crankshaft and the paths of leg motions need to be considered in the rugged terrain. The vehicle will be optimized so that it produces a sufficient speed and torque for practical use. Finally, I designed proper body with Edison simulation. The simulation is good for beginners of mechanism design."

Based on the Jansen mechanism theory, a walking robot is developed, which is able to overcome the given obstacles. Taking joint positions and leg directions as design parameters, the walking robot is analyzed. In order to analyze and optimize the leg motion, Edison program and Jansen mechanism optimization solver are used, respectively. It is found that Edison program is so effective to determine joint variables and position of leg direction. With the help of these programs, lots of trials or errors could be saved.

This study has designed a walking mechanism that is able to pass by a variety of environments, such as slope, obstructions, special surface in there, the mechanism suggested by Janssen has shown an ideal bridge structure made of 11 joints. V in the study, these programs are use that is m-sketch, m-designer, Janssen mechanism optimization solver for the optimum design of m-sketch, 3D component reflecting the given strip dimension is used because there is a limit in the given. As a result, a stable mechanism for walking could be implemented.

In order to maximize the speed of Theo Jansen Mechanism in an given design space and prototyping material, the trajectory path was maximized according to several literature reviews, and the lower leg was elongated maximally in order to minimize the shift between support phase and transfer phase.

There are various walking devices based on Theo Jansen mechanism. And these systems controlled by complicate equations. So we decided to optimize the design of walking device with two points of view. The device is required to ensure stability while maintaining the high speed. To simplify the control system, we applied trigonometric ratio with ideal Jansen trajectory. As a result, we were able to draw the connection between height of barrier and Ground Length (GL). Also we could change traveling distance and Ground Angle Coefficient (GAC) by shifting the position of the joints. Through controlling these parameter, we can analyze stability and speed of the device. Ultimately, we develop the device that can walk more efficiently by the optimization process.

최적화 프로그램의 메커니즘을 잘 모르기 때문에 mSketch상에서는 구동되던 것이 왜 최적화가 실패하였는지 원인은 알 수 없었다. 하지만 과학상자 등 실제로 만들어 볼 수 있는 기회가 있다면 어떤 문제점이 있는지 확인할 수 있을 것 같다.
