Popis: This is an electronic version of the paper presented at the International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots, held in 2006 on Brussels
In this paper, a general classification of the modular robots is proposed, based on their topology and the type of connection between the modules. The loco- motion capabilities of the sub-group of pitch-yaw con- necting robots are analyzed. Five different gaits have been implemented and tested on a real robot composed of eight modules. One of them, rotating, has not been previously achieved. All gaits are implemented using a simple and elegant central pattern generator (CPG) ap- proach that simplify the algorithms of the controlling system.
