Abstract

The modular walking machine NOROS is a bio-inspired robot designed to serve as a robotic system usable for Moon or Mars soil exploration. It consists of up to eight autonomous leg modules, each equipped with various sensors. The individual leg is controlled by a behavior-based system, which performs well walking behaviors and reflexes immediately to the local terrain. The individual leg control system is coordinated by an additional planning system, which allows the robot to anticipate changes in its gait according to the terrain condition and avoiding extreme situations. The proposed system in this paper is also verified in a co-simulation environment.
