Spiders have unique biological characteristics and excellent maneuverability, making them an ideal model for bionic robot design. However, traditional bionic spider robot designs usually have multiple degrees of freedom and confront many challenges. These challenges include complex control requirements, higher energy consumption, larger size and weight, higher risk of failure, and higher cost. This study proposes a leg design with two degrees of freedom to reduce its control and manufacturing costs. It can better control leg movement and improve leg force through a multi-link mechanism and a dual-motor system. In addition, the triangular gait and hexagonal body structure align the weight of the body with the support point, thereby enhancing stability. This study offers a comprehensive and organized approach to bio-inspired robot design, providing a valuable reference for future bionic robot development.

Photocatalysis is an emerging technology that harnesses light energy to facilitate chemical reactions. It has garnered considerable attention in the field of catalysis due to its promising applications in environmental remediation and sustainable energy generation. Recently, researchers have been exploring innovative techniques to improve the surface reactivity of ferroelectric materials for catalytic purposes, leveraging their distinct properties to enhance photocatalytic efficiency. With their switchable polarization and improved charge transport capabilities, ferroelectric materials show promise as effective photocatalysts for various reactions, including carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction. Through a blend of experimental studies and theoretical modeling, researchers have shown that these materials can effectively convert CO2 into valuable products, contributing to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a cleaner environment. An artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to analyze parameter relationships and their impacts in this study, demonstrating its ability to manage training data errors and its applications in fields like speech and image recognition. This research also examined changes in charge separation, light absorption, and surface area related to variations in band gap and polarization, confirming prediction accuracy through linear regression analysis.
