Hexapod

Home : Products : MapleSim : Model Gallery : Hexapod

This model uses multibody components to simulate the walking motion of a hexapod robot. Leg actuation is provided with trapezoidal signals. Normal forces, friction, and deflections are calculated for each "foot" of the hexapod.

A 3-D visualization demonstrates the prescribed walking motion.
