Modeling of a Hexapod Robot; Kinematic Equivalence to a Unicycle

چکیده
This report describes the kinematic and dynamic modeling of a hexapod robot. The 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) analytical kinematic and dynamic equations of motion are derived following the classical Newtonian mechanics. Under certain task-specific assumption, it is shown that the complex 6-DOF model can be simplified, resulting in an abstract model. Specifically, the motion of the robot on the horizontal plane in particular is described by the unicycle model with dynamic extension. The abstract unicycle model exhibits restricted behavior compared to the concrete hexapod model, but facilitates motion planning and control design and ensures that higher level control plans are implementable as low level control laws.

Kinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot
As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...

Introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (UPS) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. We proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. The proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...
متن کاملObserver Based Kinematic Tracking Controllers for a Unicycle-type Mobile Robot
In this paper the problem of global trajectory traclcing for the kinematic model of a unicycle-type mobile robot is considered. It is assumed that some of the tracking error coordinates are not measurable. Using a cascaded systems approach we develop full order and reduced order observers, and introduce an observer based controller resulting in IC-exponential convergence of the tracking error. ...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...
