Аннотация:A method of rocking a six-legged robot using cyclic leg movementsis proposed, which ensures the body flip and returns the robot to theworking position from the upside-down position. It is shown that theoverturning of the robot is possible if the body has an upper shell in theform of a truncated cylinder. The variants of rocking in the presence ofan inclination of the support surface, as well as a pit and a bump in thecontact area are considered. The inclination can be set by a combinationof rotations around different axes. Computer simulation is performed usingthe “Universal Mechanism” software package.
