This paper presents a systematical approach to develop a novel reduced complexity quadruped (RCQ) robot designed for serpentine robotic tail research purposes. The critical design requirements are determined based on careful dynamic analysis and synthesis results. Guided by formulated design requirements and principles, a robot prototype was designed and built. The robot has an overall weight of 5...
