Abstract

In this paper, a class of novel biped mechanisms with three links and two planar lower joints (prismatic joint and revolute joint) are presented. Based on the topological structure of mechanisms, they are classified into three subgroups: 2R, 2P and 1P1R biped mechanisms. Each subgroup contains several mechanisms with the different locomotion manners which result from different layouts of joints. Their locomotion manners are simulated with the kinematic and dynamic simulation software. Prototypes of some selected walking mechanisms are built to demonstrate their mobility. These mechanisms offer options for designing simple and robust biped robots.
