Abstract:The scope of the paper is to develop a methodology for finding optimal gaits of a quadruped robot using genetic algorithm, comparing the results to the ones resulting from natural evolution. The optimization is performed over preimposed contact forces to find the best shapes that guarantees the minimum energy consumption during a single stride cycle. The dynamic formulation of the four-dimensional model is developed without involving any specific kinematic mechanism for the legs, considering the entire gait sp… Show more
