Robot Mechanisms

Innovative mechanism design for complex locomotive tasks, analysis of mechanisms has been the broad scope of this area. While not mechanical engineers ourselves we still have had the opportunity to come up with a novel force actuator mechanism for all terrain navigation, gait sequences for posture reconfiguration and development of snake like robotic mechanisms.
