Abstract
The MARK II is a biologically inspired walking robot utilizing modern hardware. The purpose of the project is to create a robotic platform that is capable of mimicking the motion of various biological organisms such as insects, lizards, and other biologics. With a quadruped platform (4 degrees of freedom per leg) detailed experiments can be run regarding motion behavior of biological systems in a controlled environment without the use of biological organisms. Advances in biorobotic walkers will provide insight into biological animal behavior, fluid robotic motion and system wide control design and implementation.
