1A1-R04 Improved Design of a Prototype Module for a Novel Eccentric Paddle Mechanism

Abstract

Based on the locomotion principle of the eccentric paddle mechanism and experiments on the ePaddle-I prototype module, an improved prototype named ePaddle-II is proposed to implement light and compact module. The transmission mechanism in the prototype is improved and new fabricating method is introduced. Preliminary experiments are conducted to verify the proposed design.
