4-Bar Speed Walker
This was a project in Design 1 [24-370] that pushed us to explore the design of 4-bar linkages and the balance of simple walking mechanisms. With the suggestion of a previous employer I used the Hrones and Nelson Atlas to develop the motion I wanted the legs to have. The walker was timed as it blindly made its way across a rocky straight line course. This design placed second out of a class of 120 students.
