Development of an 8DOF quadruped robot and implementation of Inverse Kinematics using Denavit-Hartenberg convention.

ABSTRACT: Quadruped robots can mimic animal walking gait and they have certain advantages like walking on terrain and extremely rough surfaces. Obstacles can impede the movement of wheeled vehicles, where a quadruped can adapt to avoid obstacles by adjusting its height. A quadruped robot is designed and developed for in this paper, which could be controlled by the Android operating system. The Inverse Kinematics Solutions are derived for the developed structure using Denavit-Hartenberg convention and using those solutions the movements are simulated using a custom-made 3D software. An Android application is developed, which is able to control the robot using Bluetooth. The robot currently has following six different movements: front, back, left, right walking, clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation. The robot uses the ultrasound sensor to detect any obstacle closer than 300 cm (maximum) and if an impediment appears, the robot will automatically move parallel to the obstacle until it is avoided. Currently, it can move at a speed of 15.5 cm/s (approximately). To complete a full rotation of 360°, it takes 6 seconds. It can be used to develop and implement any autonomous path-planning algorithm.

Project description:We present Oncilla robot, a novel mobile, quadruped legged locomotion machine. This large-cat sized, 5.1 kg robot is one of a kind of a recent, bioinspired legged robot class designed with the capability of model-free locomotion control. Animal legged locomotion in rough terrain is clearly shaped by sensor feedback systems. Results with Oncilla robot show that agile and versatile locomotion is possible without sensory signals to some extend, and tracking becomes robust when feedback control is added (Ajallooeian, 2015). By incorporating mechanical and control blueprints inspired from animals, and by observing the resulting robot locomotion characteristics, we aim to understand the contribution of individual components. Legged robots have a wide mechanical and control design parameter space, and a unique potential as research tools to investigate principles of biomechanics and legged locomotion control. But the hardware and controller design can be a steep initial hurdle for academic research. To facilitate the easy start and development of legged robots, Oncilla-robot's blueprints are available through open-source. The robot's locomotion capabilities are shown in several scenarios. Specifically, its spring-loaded pantographic leg design compensates for overdetermined body and leg postures, i.e., during turning maneuvers, locomotion outdoors, or while going up and down slopes. The robot's active degree of freedom allow tight and swift direction changes, and turns on the spot. Presented hardware experiments are conducted in an open-loop manner, with little control and computational effort. For more versatile locomotion control, Oncilla-robot can sense leg joint rotations, and leg-trunk forces. Additional sensors can be included for feedback control with an open communication protocol interface. The robot's customized actuators are designed for robust actuation, and efficient locomotion. It trots with a cost of transport of 3.2 J/(Nm), at a speed of 0.63 m s-1 (Froude number 0.25). The robot trots inclined slopes up to 10°, at 0.25 m s-1. The multi-body Webots model of Oncilla robot, and Oncilla robot's extensive software architecture enables users to design and test scenarios in simulation. Controllers can directly be transferred to the real robot. Oncilla robot's blueprints are open-source published (hardware GLP v3, software LGPL v3).
