Abstract

In this paper, we have furnished our ideas about this fully Biomimetric Mars Robot i.e. it has been designed based on the creatures that are still existent or extinct. This effectively adds to the quality of the robot. This robot is capable of taking the design of three different creatures, namely: a bird, a dinosaur and a rat. This robot has the feet of a bird, leg of a dinosaur and the body of a rat. This lends stability to the biomimtric robot. The unique feature of this robot is that, it has 5 segment feet, which would provide grip to the robot on a curved surface. This can be portrayed like a bird clinging on to a branch of the tree. Another notable feature of this robot is that, it's three fingers are placed 120o apart so that it can even hold on to an egg without breaking it. This robot is 2133.6 mm in height, 1219.2 mm in breadth and weighs about 863.7 kg. Moreover, its feet are well stabilized well and its centre of gravity is focused to the centre. This is the precise design of the Martian man.
