Abstract

This paper studies crab gaits and turning gaits of a hexapod robot with a locked joint failure. Due to the reduced workspace of a failed leg, fault-tolerant gaits have limitations in their mobility. Based on the principles of fault-tolerant gait planning, periodic crab gaits and turning gaits are proposed in which a hexapod robot carries out tripod walking after a locked joint failure, having a reasonable stride length and stability margin.
