โฆ Synopsis
We present the biomimetic control scheme for the walking robot SCORPION. We used a concept of Basic Motion Patterns, which can be combined in a very flexible manner. Also reflexes are introduced to increase the reactivity. In addition our modeling and simulation approach is described, which has been done based on the ADAMS TM simulator. Especially the motion patterns of real scorpions were analyzed and used for walking patterns and smooth acceleration of the robot.

The shape memory effect exhibited by Nitinol wire can be utilized to construct an artificial muscle. The muscle is activated by an electric current, which produces heat and initiates a phase transformation. The Nitinol artificial muscle stress-strain-power relationship was determined by experiments,
Two major approaches exist for devising gait control for a legged machine: (1) finding a sequence of leg and body movements of a robot on the basis of kinematic and possibly dynamic considerations assuming all foot placements are valid and (2) selecting leg and body movements first on the basis of f
