Direct Kinematic Analysis of a Hexapod Spider-Like Mobile Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an appropriate mechanism for a hexapod spider-like mobile robot is introduced. Then regarding the motion of this kind of robot which is inspired from insects, direct kinematics of position and velocity of the centre of gravity (C.G.) of the body and noncontact legs are analysed. By planning and supposing a specific time variation for each joint variable, location and velocity of the C.G. of the robot platform and angular velocity of the body are obtained and the results are shown and analysed.
