120 results about "Hexapod" patented technology

A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk. Furthermore, not all of the robot's legs are needed for stability; other legs are free to reach new foot placements or manipulate a payload.

Fuselage attitude angle correction-based hexapod robot joint angle calibration method

The present invention provides a fuselage attitude angle correction-based hexapod robot joint angle calibration method. According to the method, the fuselage attitude angle of a hexapod robot is acquired by a micro inertial sensor. In combination with the system kinematics and the inverse kinematics model of foot type robots, the correction for each joint angle of the support legs of a multi-foot movement robot is completed. The hexapod robot is driven to be supported on the ground by any three feet, while the other three feet of the hexapod robot are lifted and always kept not in contact with the ground. One support leg of the hexapod robot is selected to drive the one joint on the selected support leg to rotate in angle, while the bottom of the support leg is sliding. At the same time, the bottoms of the other two support legs are not sliding relative to the ground. A function relationship between the joint angle and the attitude is established, and a system of linear equations for the zero point of the joint is obtained. As a result, the coordinate of the bottom of the support leg relative to a fuselage coordinate system is obtained. After that, the angle of each joint of the support legs of the robot can be solved out reversely based on the known position of the tail end of the above support leg. Based on the method, the correction for the joint angles of the multi-foot movement robot is completed rapidly and accurately. Therefore, the multi-foot coordination and the movement track precision of the multi-foot movement robot are ensured.
