This paper proposes a new locomotion algorithm of narrow scaffold. We have developed a limb-mechanism robot. The limb can move on a large working area, it can be used as an arm and a leg. ASTERISK Robot system has six limbs that radiate out in six directions. This robot system has the rotational symmetry, therefore, the posture is equivalent even if the robot body rotates. By using this feature, we propose a new movement algorithm “rotational gait” that the robot rotates like a wheel. The rotational gait can be applied to the robot that hanging on a cable, moving on narrow shelf of a cliff, and walking in a narrow space by the same algorithm. The operation and effectiveness of these algorithms were verified by the experiment. The movement algorithm is easy pattern operation that keeps stable state at all periods. And the robot can move without doing a high-speed real-time processing.
