Final Year Project

Project Title

Legged Robot for Locomotion on Rough Terrain with Posture Adaptation

Description

Abrupt changes in elevation and rough terrain are some of the biggest challenges for wheeled robots. Legged robots offer the necessary versatility but pose additional challenges in terms of design and control. Our project tackles the problem of making a legged robot capable of traversing rough terrain with the ability to adapt its body posture to avoid obstacles and get through confined spaces. The project evaluates various approaches to locomotion in rough terrain within constraints. Our goal is to augment the university's T-Hex legged robot kit with necessary sensors to facilitate locomotion and perception algorithms. Through this project, we aim to cultivate an educational environment for robotics at Habib University and encourage students to make further progress within the domain.
