Abstract：Gekko gecko has become a hot research topic in the field of animal robot because of its unique motion characteristics in unstructured environment.Quadrupedal movement feature of gecko is an important direction in the research of biomimetic gecko robot. A device used for in vivo EMG acquisition and storage of Gekko gecko was made to investigate the firing pattern of corresponding muscles.The size of the device was 3.2 cm ×2.5 cm ×1 cm (L ×W ×H)with 12 g.Analog signals of five channels could be recorded with 1 kHz/s simultaneously for more than 2 h.The performance of the device was tested using a stable source from signal generator and changes of EMG signal in flexor muscles were initially studied on a plane changing with different angles.Results show that the device can be used in the EMG recording of Gekko gecko and it is expected to provide positive help to the acquisition and storage of bioelectric signal from other animals.
