Conception of robotic leg design

This paper deals with design of robotic leg for biped robot. This robot is developed on Brno University of Technology. This project is motivated by ambitions to improve sensory system of mentioned robot. The robotic leg will by able to inform main control system unit of robot about collisions with another object as well as about characteristic of contact with ground. The sensory system is based on combination between measuring of deformation by strain gages in several positions and using artificial neural network for contact characteristic determination.
