Inverse Kinematics Solution for Biped Robot

Abstract

A biped is a multi-jointed mechanism that performs a human's motions. It seems more difficult to analyze the behavioral character of walking robot due to the complexity of mathematical description. This paper focuses on developing a methodology for deriving an inverse kinematic joint solution of a biped robot. This work aimed to build the lower side, the locomotion part of a biped robot. It couples a design considerations and simplicity of design to provide inverse kinematics analysis of 11 degree-of-freedom (DOF) biped robot. The model used consists of 5-links which are connected through revolute joints. The identical legs have hip joint, knee joints and ankle joint. This paper addresses symbolic formulation for reducing problem in solving univariate polynomial. An effective approach is developed for the solution of inverse kinematics task in analytical form for given end-effector position. This method presents a simple and efficient procedure for finding the joint solution of bipeds.
