The diploma thesis deals with the construction of a walking mobile robot, which is intended for passing through a rugged or forest terrain, whose task is to collect the sample. The first part is devoted to the review of walking robots. Follow-up an analysis of two-legged and four-leg walking robot technologies and a brief overview of drives. The second part is devoted to problem analysis and design variant. The work contains 4 design variants in the form of schemes. Using the multi-criteria analysis, the variants were evaluated and the optimal variant was chosen taking into account the representative parameters. The third part is devoted to the construction of the chosen variant, it is divided into body and leg construction. The overall design is processed in the form of a virtual 3D model. In the leg construction, the design itself, but also the calculations of drives, shafts, gears and belt transmissions are solved. The end of the thesis is devoted to drawing documentation based on 3D model and economic evaluation. Follow-up and discussion with possible continuation and use in practice.

[pt] Nos últimos anos, os robôs móveis com pernas têm despertado o interesse da comunidade robótica, pois tais mecanismos apresentam maior versatilidade em relação aos robôs móveis de rodas e aéreos. Neste trabalho, o autor considera o problema de modelagem e projeto de controle robusto para uma classe de robôs móveis com pernas usando a abordagem de controle por modos deslizantes. Um estudo comparativo entre um algoritmo de planejamento baseado em técnicas de Fourier e controladores via modo deslizante é apresentado para o problema de estabilização de um robô móvel saltitante na fase de vôo. O autor também propõe a estabilização da postura de robôs móveis multipernas, como hexapod e robô bípede, utilizando duas abordagens de controle diferentes, o controle de regulação Cartesiana e o controle via modos deslizantes. A teoria de estabilidade de Lyapunov é usada para demonstrar as propriedades de estabilidade dos sistemas de controle em malha-fechada. Simulações numéricas em ambiente de simulação MATLAB e simulações computacionais em Gazebo, um simulador robótico 3D de código aberto, são incluídas para ilustrar o desempenho e a viabilidade da metodologia proposta. / [en] In the last years, legged mobile robots have increased the interest of the robotics community because such mechanisms have higher versatility compared to wheeled and aerial mobile robots. These characteristics make robot with legs a viable solution for rescue and monitoring operations in irregular terrains and difficult to access locations. Although singlelegged or multi-legged mechanisms can transverse any terrain, some of their disadvantages are higher complexity in modelling and control design and higher power consumption. In this work, the author considers the problem of modelling and robust control design for a class of legged mobile robots using the sliding mode control approach. A comparative study between a planning algorithm based on Fourier techniques and sliding mode controllers is presented for the stabilization problem of a hopping robot in flight phase. The author also proposes the stabilization of the posture of multilegged mobile robots such as, hexapod and biped robot, using two different control approaches, the Cartesian regulation control and the sliding mode control. The Lyapunov stability theory is used to demonstrate the stability properties of the closed-loop control systems. Numerical simulations in MATLAB simulation software and computer simulations in Gazebo, an open-source 3D robotic simulator, are included to illustrate the performance and feasibility of the propose methodology.

In this work, we investigate the active vibration isolation and damping of sensitive equipment. Several single-axis isolation techniques are analyzed and tested. A comparison between the sky-hook damper, integral force feedback, inertial velocity feedback and LagLead control techniques is conducted using several practical examples.<p><p>The study of single-axis systems has been developed and used to build a six-axis isolator. A six degrees of freedom active isolator based on Stewart platform has been designed manufactured and tested for the purpose of active vibration isolation of sensitive payloads in space applications. This six-axis hexapod is designed according to the cubic configuration; it consists of two triangular parallel plates connected to each other by six active legs orthogonal to each other; each leg consists of a voice coil actuator, a force sensor and two flexible joints. Two different control techniques have been tested to control this isolator :integral force feedback and Lag-Lead compensator, the two techniques are based on force feedback and are applied in a decentralized manner. A micro-gravity parabolic flight test has been clone to test the isolator in micro-gravity environment.<p><p>ln the context of this research, another hexapod has been produced ;a generic active damping and precision painting interface based on Stewart platform. This hexapod consists of two parallel plates connected to each other by six active legs configured according to the cubic architecture. Each leg consists of an amplified piezoelectric actuator, a force sensor and two flexible joints. This Stewart platform is addressed to space applications where it aims at controlling the vibrations of space structures while connecting them rigidly. The control technique used here is the decentralized integral force feedback.<p><p> / Doctorat en sciences appliquées / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
