The analysis focuses on control features of the hexapod walking robot with three degree-of-freedom legs. This paper describes different servo control methods and presents the developed algorithm for formation of servos control signals. The geometric inverse kinematics method was used to calculate the angles of each joint of a leg.

Hexapod robot locomotion is analyzed. Trajectory forming method for one leg is introduced. Servo angles are expressed using geometric inverse kinematics method. Forming of tripod gait is described and a diagram representing it is presented. Servo control parameters are defined to ensure fluent and versatile robot control. Several servo control methods are presented. After testing robot movement using different servo control methods, gait generation is corrected and control method that meets servo control parameters is chosen.

Wall following is one of the methods used in navigating the movement of robot applications. Because the robot moves along the wall, the ultrasonic sensor is used as a barrier detector capable of measuring the distance between the robot and the wall. The six-legged robot is a hexapod robot has six pieces of legs and each leg has three joints that are used to move. The leg movement is based on the inverse kinematics to obtain the angle value of each joint. Nevertheless, a six-legged robot requires stability in order to move smoothly while following the wall. In this work, a robot was developed using a proportional derivative controller to implemented on wall follower navigation. The PID controller is determined using analytic tuning to produce the controller parameters that are used to make the robot move straighten and keep the position against the wall. Overall, the application of inverse kinematics and PID control on the wall following robot navigation can improve the stability of the robot with a set point value of 8-16 cm on the wall length of 1.5 within 92–96 % of average success rate.


The technological advancements at the global level have put in a large demand for walking robots in various industrial and domestic applications. The aim of the paper is to develop a Hexapod (robot with six legs) walking robot that is capable of performing basic movement, such as walking forward and backward, carry payloads and used as a surveillance device. A novel robot leg design has been created with Autodesk Fusion 360, linkage mechanisms of the robot leg is determined by using Linkage 2.0 software. Stress and displacement analysis was done in Autodesk fusion360 software in order to determine whether it can hold the self-weight of the robot and the desired payload to carry the surveillance purpose (i.e. medicine, water, blood etc.). Considering all the possibilities final optimized Hexapod robot design is created using Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Mainly, the undertaken design outline takes into account the fundamental features, such as basic structure, motion planning, payload and walking gait. Fabrication of Hexapod robot parts was completed using additive manufacturing technology FDM process.

This paper designs and implements a simulation system that can verify the planning algorithms such as table tennis trajectory planning and robot leg movement planning. The simulation system and the humanoid robot’s control system are connected based on the RTnet real-time Ethernet protocol. The table tennis game of the humanoid robot is implemented using the simulation of the forward and inverse kinematics of the robot arm, the hitting planning, and the forward and inverse kinematics of the robot leg.

Closed-form direct and inverse kinematics of a new three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator with inextensible limbs and base-mounted actuators are presented. The manipulator has higher resolution and precision than the existing three-DOF mechanisms with extensible limbs. Since all of the manipulator actuators are base mounted, higher payload capacity, smaller actuator sizes, and lower power dissipation can be obtained. The manipulator is suitable for alignment applications where only tip, tilt, and piston motions are significant. The direct kinematics of the manipulator is reduced to solving an eighth-degree polynomial in the square of the tangent of the half-angle between one of the limbs and the base plane. Hence, there are at most 16 assembly configurations for the manipulator. In addition, it is shown that the 16 solutions are eight pairs of reflected configurations with respect to the base plane. Numerical examples for the direct and inverse kinematics of the manipulator are also presented.

This paper presents a procedure that determines the dimensions of two constraining links to be added to a three degree-of-freedom spherical parallel manipulator so that it becomes a one degree-of-freedom spherical (8, 10) eight-bar linkage that guides its end-effector through five task poses. The dimensions of the spherical parallel manipulator are unconstrained, which provides the freedom to specify arbitrary base attachment points as well as the opportunity to shape the overall movement of the linkage. Inverse kinematics analysis of the spherical parallel manipulator provides a set of relative poses between all of the links, which are used to formulate the synthesis equations for spherical RR chains connecting any two of these links. The analysis of the resulting spherical eight-bar linkage verifies the movement of the system.

The paper presents an innovative hexapod walking robot built with 3-UPU parallel mechanism. In the robot, the parallel mechanism is used as both an actuator to generate walking and also a connecting body to connect two groups of three legs, thus enabling the robot to walk with simple gait by very few motors. In this paper, forward and inverse kinematics solutions are obtained. The workspace of the parallel mechanism is analyzed using limit boundary search method. The walking stability of the robot is analyzed, which yields the robot’s maximum step length. The gait planning of the hexapod walking robot is studied for walking on both flat and uneven terrains. The new robot, combining the advantages of parallel robot and walking robot, has a large carrying capacity, strong passing ability, flexible turning ability, and simple gait control for its deployment for uneven terrains.

Abstract In this work, the Cassino Biped Locomotor, a biped walking robot, is presented as the leg design by using reduced parallel mechanisms. The proposed biped locomotor consists of two identical tripod leg mechanisms with a three degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator architecture. Kinematics analysis is carried out in terms of the forward and inverse kinematics of one leg mechanism and inverse kinematics of the biped locomotor. The walking operation is discussed in detail with gait planning and trajectories of feet and waist. A CAD model is elaborated in solidworks® environment and the corresponding prototype is fabricated with low-cost user-oriented features by using commercial components and structural parts that are manufactured by using 3D printing. An experimental layout and corresponding test modes are illustrated for characterizing the walking operation performance. Experimental results are analyzed for an operation performance evaluation and architecture design characterization of the Cassino Biped Locomotor.
