Abstract
The mobile robotics has been strongly developed in recent decades. Researches in robots with legs are highlighted by the ability to overpass obstacles more effectively compared with other types of locomotion. The bio-inspired robotics uses functional elements of nature for inspiration. The TB-Horse is a bio-inspired quadruped robot with biological features of horse locomotion. The robot is developed to be used on uneven terrain to rescue injured people, to carry fragile loads, among other applications. This research project aims to study/analysis and simulate the CAD-3D structural mechanical design already developed using the SolidWorks software before the real prototype. Also, the electronic design is proposed and simulate using the Proteus software, before its implementation. In order to be able to correct some errors before the development of the TB-Horse, the simulation is important to avoid major adjustments in the real prototype. After the study of structural and electronic mechanical design, the TB-Horse prototype is developed and a control algorithm, for example the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller can be implemented to validade the real robot locomotion.
