Abstract:
Robotic structures have been a subject to continuous innovation since their presence. This paper presents a new approach to solve the inverse kinematics problem of the “HIDRA” (HIghDexterityRoboticArm). A SimMechanics trunk model has been developed based on which a position control algorithm will be developed. The published experimental results, coming from numerical simulations, validate the similarity of our kinematic model, and our new approach of determining the lengths of the bellows. This new approach presents the correlation between the physical characteristics and the elongation provided by variable air pressure.
