N2 - As a recent trend in robotic research, legged robots gained importance since they are capable of performing vast maneuver abilities on rough terrain. Especially in case of planetary exploration, legged robots seem to offer the most suitable mechanism in order to accomplish any given mission. Therefore, this paper is aimed at introducing the development of a two segmental, eight-legged mobile robot for planetary exploration, which has a novel mechanical structure and a hierarchical control system. Its mechanical and electrical hardware design is explained in detail. In conclusion, it is anticipated that the designed robot can be employed as an outdoor explorer robot.
