Development of the quadruped robot modeling and movement simulation for Education

Abstract

This research was aimed to developed the quadruped robot modelling and movement simulation and to test and summarize the 3D simulated quadruped robot movement. The development of the simulate quadruped robot had 5 steps, 1) structure design, 2) analyze the robot kinematics, 3) simulate the robot movement 4) LabVIEW test run to simulate the 3D movement. 5) used the quadruped robot as teaching media in industrial robotics courses and program development. From the testing result, the 3D simulated quadruped robot able to move in 6 movement, walk backward and 10 meter/minute walk forward. After used the quadruped robot in teaching, found the overall satisfaction with the teaching materials of the quadruped robot was at a good level. (X = 3.51, S.D. = 0.73). The robot suitable for use as a teaching material in courses related to robotics and encourage students to learn as well.
