A new type of wheel-leg hybrid quadruped robot is proposed, which has four 6-DOF mechani- cal legs based on 3-UPS parallel mechanism. The dynamics of mechanical legs are modeled, and their driving parameters are predicted. The vector chain method is used to establish a transfer model of 3-UPS parallel mechanism, and the Jacobian matrix is established. A dynamics model of mechanical legs is es- tablished based on the Lagrange equation, and the drive force acted on the mechanism is given. The peak prediction model of servo motors for driving speed and torque is analyzed based on the dynamics model. The calculated result shows that the peak value of rotating speed of driving motor is 19.7 r/s, and the peak value of torque of driving motor is 71 mN. m. A design scheme of mechanical leg and its structure parameters are used to obtain the changes of driving speeds and torques of 6 motors over time. The calcu- lated results show that the peak speed of driving motor is 15.3 r/s, and its peak torque is 48.1 raN-m, which are all less than the predicted limit values. The predicted peak power of servo motors is 77 (W). It proves that the dynamic analysis and the peak prediction model of driving parameters of the mechanical leg are very reasonable.
