Hi all,
I have finally got around to spending more time on terrain adaptation using my p.Brain-DS engine and the largest of my hexapods to date - B.F.Hexapod (V5).
As some of you may know I have dabbled with terrain adaptation before back in 2003 with my V4 hexapod, however, I was limited by having the locomotion engine off-board. With these new tests using the on-board p.Brain-DS many of the problems were solved, along with a new contact sensor design I intend on using on larger hexapods.
More info can be found on my site here: micromagic systems - B.F. Hexapod (V5)
Terrain test videos showing various gaits can be found here:
Terrain Test 1
Terrain Test 2
Terrain Test 3
Terrain Test 4
Don't ask me why the video's all start grey.. something to do with youtube conversion, as they were all fine before I sent them!?
B.F. Hexapod V5
Cheers,
Matt.
