This mech warrior that I found has a very interesting combination of movement: The robot main body has a rocking rotating motion and the legs move back and forth in an almost linear way.
As this has some interesting combination of links which I found non-intuitive at the beginning by simply looking at the images, I decided to try to build the mechanism part in order to understand what's causing that motion.
The purpose of this whole mechanism is to make a motion that resembles to walking for a robot toy. Therefore, the important analysis come mainly from position and speed.
In my report I will include:
- How each part of the design contributes the motion qualitatively
- Analysis of the motion of the robot main body: Position + Velocity Analysis
- Analysis of the motion of the legs: Position + Velocity analysis.
