Our senior design project, the 8 legged theo jansen walker, IS ALIVE! Shaina drives it like a stud. Lots of long hours spent on this thing, great work guys!
It is a Theo Jansen 8-bar linkage. Each leg pair is liked front and rear, and each side of the driver is driven with a single motor. The 4 leg sets are positioned 180 degrees out of phase with one another so that each side of the driver always has two legs on the ground for stability.
Can you please tell me a little about how the design works. I am interested in working on something like this for my capstone design course. Thanks!
