This paper developed a new type of hexapod robot using self-developed flexible space bending joints which can not only move from side to side or back and forth but also rotate. Then the principle of the movement and the gait of the hexapod robot were investigated, the kinematics model on translational displacement and velocity was followed. Furthermore, the test bench and pneumatic control system were set up, and the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the center of were acquired by high-speed camera shooting means. Finally, the stability of the gravity center and the control method of the hexapod robot were studied. The research of this paper provides a theoretical and practical basis for the application of bionic hexapod robot.
