摘要

This study proposes the design and testing of a quadruped robot with crawling posture, namely Ambot-N1. The mechatronics design is firstly introduced. A reinforcement learning motion control framework is proposed and applied to the robot. The influence of the initial joint angle on the convergence characteristics of the policy is tested. The optimal control policy trained using optimized joint initial angles demonstrates excellent generalization ability, enabling the robot to achieve adaptive motion in three terrains: grassland, gravel and solid ground.
