Optimization of One Legged Hopping Robot Hardware Parameters via Solidworks Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This paper discussed about simulation of one legged hopping robot via Solidworks software in order to determine the optimum hardware parameters of the hopping robot. Simulations have been done according to different variables that have been set up earlier which are crank bar length, spring length and spring coefficient. The best parameters were chosen in terms of higher and stable hopping performance. Besides that, an experiment is done to validate the parameters from the simulation. Average hopping height is discussed and overall performances of hopping height stability are proved by the normal distribution graph. As the result, the optimum parameter values for hardware of one legged hopping robot are validated.
