Masum Billah and Mohiuddin Ahmed and Soheli Farhana}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In modern day disaster recovery mission has become one of the top priorities in any natural disaster management regime. Smart autonomous robots may play a significant role in such missions, including search for life under earth quake hit rubbles, Tsunami hit islands, de-mining in war affected areas and many other such situations. In this paper current state of many walking robots are compared and advantages of hexapod systems against wheeled robots are described. In our research we have selected a hexapod spider robot; we are developing focusing mainly on efficient navigation method in different terrain using apposite gait of locomotion, which will make it faster and at the same time energy efficient to navigate and negotiate difficult terrain. This paper describes the method of terrain negotiation navigation in a hazardous field.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {6}, year = {2008}, pages = {795 - 800}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15549}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/18}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 18, 2008}, }
