Compared with manipulators, six-legged robots have better mobility performance apart from completing operational tasks. However, there are nearly no previous studies of six-legged robots performing the peg-in-hole task. In this article, a peg-in-hole approach for six-legged robots is studied and experimented with a six-parallel-legged robot. Firstly, we propose a method whereby a vision sensor and a force\/torque (F\/T) sensor can be used to explore the relative location between the hole and peg. According to the visual information, the robot can approach the hole. Next, based on the force feedback, the robot plans the trajectory in real time to mate the peg and hole. Then, during the insertion, admittance control is implemented to guarantee the smooth insertion. In addition, during the whole assembly process, the peg is held by the gripper and attached to the robot body. Connected to the body, the peg has sufficient workspace and six DOF to perform the assembly task. Finally, experiments were conducted to prove the suitability of the approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20102861","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T11:34:14Z","timestamp":1589801654000},"page":"2861","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Peg-in-Hole Assembly Based on Six-Legged Robots with Visual Detecting and Force Sensing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6262-3041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yinan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}]},{"given":"Zhijun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical System and Vibration, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10822","DOI":"10.3182\/20080706-5-KR-1001.01833","article-title":"BigDog, the Rough-Terrain Quadruped Robot","volume":"41","author":"Raibert","year":"2008","journal-title":"IFAC Proc.
