Abstract
Based on the observation of the biological structure and motions of sea cra bs, the adaptability of sea crabs to the sea floor is discussed. The mechan ism parameters of the walking systems of some crabs are measured. A bionics mechanism model is presented. Then, the inverse kinematics of the model is conducted. Finally, the influence of the mechanism parameters on the flexi bility of the bionics model is discussed using spatial parallel mechanism t heory. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
