Development of a quadruped mobile robot and its movement system using geometric-based inverse kinematics

Abstract

As the main testbed platform of Artificial Intelligence, the robot plays an essential role in creating an environment for industrial revolution 4.0. According to their bases, the robot can be categorized into a fixed based robot and a mobile robot. Current robotics research direction is interesting since people strive to create a mobile robot able to move in the land, water, and air. This paper presents development of a quadruped mobile robot and its movement system using geometric-based inverse kinematics. The study is related to the movement of a four-legged (quadruped) mobile robot with three Degrees of Freedom (3 DOF) for each leg. Because it has four legs, the movement of the robot can only be done through coordinating the movements of each leg. In this study, the trot gait pattern method is proposed to coordinate the movement of the robot's legs. The end-effector position of each leg is generated by a simple trajectory generator with half rectified sine wave pattern. Furthermore, to move each robot's leg, it is proposed to use geometric-based inverse kinematic. The experimental results showed that the proposed method succeeded in moving the mobile robot with precision. Movement errors in the translation direction are 1.83% with the average pose error of 1.33 degrees, means the mobile robot has good walking stability.

Robot control and kinematic analysis with 6DoF manipulator using direct kinematic method

“…Robots can be mathematically modeled with computer programs where the results can be displayed visually, so it can be used to determine the input, gain, attenuate and error parameters of the control system [25]. The formulation of a tuple data is the first step and it is a vital block in this system.…”

“…The measured sensitivity values are necessary for element comparison. The logarithmic sensitivity is derived using the partial derivative of the objective function's logarithm with respect to the element's logarithm, as given in (3). Because these derivatives cannot be calculated analytically, they are tackled using the finite center difference method, that is, dependent on Taylor series, as given in (4).…”
