Improved Design And Realization Based On Single-Degree-of-Freedom Mechanical Strandbeests

Along with the coming of the new era which is in a high degree of integration and cross penetration, including area of industrial design. People have turned the exploration and study to the biological world. And human use their unique creative thinking and the ability of mimic biological design to open the new design domain -- bionic design.Theo Jansen, a scientist in Holland, is evolving a new species. He's designing is walking on the coast of Holland with countless legs and fed by gusts of wind. Jansen says they are a new form of life and call them“Strandbeests". These large robotic animal made from PVC plastic tubes are used to protect the increasingly erosion of the coastline.The main purpose of this paper is to make three ways of improvement to Strandbeests, considering at the self characters and work environment of Strandbeests,we can't use the current advanced technology. First, using simple common materials to make the Strandbeests has a better gait from controlling univariate to test to have a better sport efficiency; Second, install a "stomach",the compressed air is used to convert wind energy into air energy and stored in the stomach; Finally, design a steering system special "sensor" to detect the surrounding environment to avoid obstacles. These are the necessary skills to survive on the beach.In fact, not only the beach in Holland is suffering from a serious attack, but also in China. It is better to take this opportunity to try the role of artificial life than to use all kinds of tools that are expensive but have little effect. Even if the effect can not achieve the desired purpose, we are in the research and production of this simple original Strandbeests to receive unexpected results.
