An extension mechanism of Theo Jansen linkage for walking in bump condition

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Since ancient times the wheels have been used to transport heavy loads. In addition, Crawler has been used in rough terrain. On the other hand, organisms are often moved by the feet and repeat the basic dynamics of muscle contraction. Leg’s movements are similar to an elliptical orbit. This is the trajectory of ground legs and floating legs. Theo Jansen has reproduced this linkage in 8 node orbit. Thus, Theo Jansen has been attracting attention recently. In this study, we don't apply an additional new mechanism. We naturally extend the original link characteristics Theo Jansen Mechanism and propose a new framework for overcoming. Thus, we can develop a multi-leg mechanism. In the future, we can be expected to be a promising candidate as a mechanism to walk rough terrain on the multi-legs instead of wheels or crawlers.
