Development of a miniature robot based on experience inspired by nature
Abstract
The paper explains the fundamentals of bionics. Using the basic principles of bionics, an analysis was made of the movement of legged biological systems on the basis of laboratory observations and measurements, in which they studied the movement of biological systems moving with the help of its legs. Then the 3D model of the robot is designed inspired with insects with six legs and using two of the four basic principles of movement with the help of legs. 3D model was created with the of Solidworks software package. A mathematical model with Matlab Simulink - SimMechanic Software. Using modern software tools like Solidworks and Matlab Simulink a mathematical analysis of its mechanism for movement in a 3D environment is performed. It is shown that the Bionics with the help of modern software engineering can be a powerful tool, but to get complete results it is necessary to apply all the principles that is obtained by the analysis.
