It has important theoretical significance to analyze the energy efficiency of walking robot. The energy efficiency of quadruped robot with trot gait under three kind of foot trajectory was analyzed. The trot gait was divided into swing phase and support phase. Firstly, the D-H coordinates and inverse transformation method was adopted to analyze the kinematics. The contact force between foots and ground during walking was considered. The contact model was presented according to the principles of centroid movement of rigid body dynamics to derive the mapping relationship between contact force and joint driving torques by Jacobian matrix, and the dynamics of quadruped robot in swing phase and support phase was derived by Lagrangian method. The dynamic model was established considering periodic contact between feet and ground during walking. Three different kind of foot trajectory were presented, which are cycloidal trajectory, sinusoidal trajectory and linear trajectory, respectively. Afterwards, the kinematics and dynamics of quadruped robot under different foot trajectory were analyzed. Finally, the specific resistance was taken as the evaluating indicator, the energy consumption of quadruped robot under three different foot trajectory was analyzed, and the gait parameters such as step height, step length and joint initial angle that affect on the energy consumption were studied, which will provide theoretical basis for parameters optimization and trajectory planning of the quadruped robot.
