Robot Simulator: Roller Walker Robot in V-REP

This video demonstrates the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP: http://www.v-rep.eu ) simulating a walking-rolling robot. The robot is controlled in a distributed fashion (each leg has an own control script) and each leg is controlled in inverse kinematics (joint angles are automatically calculated from foot positions/orientations). The roller-walker concept was developed at Hirose-Fukushima lab in Tokyo Institute of Technology. A similar robot like the one in the simulation is available for purchase at Hibot Corporation ( http://www.hibot.co.jp ). The robot CAD model is courtesy of Lyall Randell
