This study modeled a heavy-duty 5-legged robot with a manipulator arm in a Matlab environment and conducted walking simulations and position control experiments. The results showed that using the PID control method can reduce vibrations in the base and gripper end, and a suitable gait sequence for the 5-leg structure was formed.
Research on the effective use of joint-legged robots continues rapidly in many sectors. However, studies on pentapod robots are rare. In this study, a heavy-duty 5-legged robot on which a manipulator's arm with 3-axis and rotating joints is placed was modeled in a Matlab Simscape Multibody environment. The walking simulations of the robot and the position control of the manipulator arm were carried out. PID control method was used for the control of the joints. In order to minimize the vibrations of the base and the gripper end, a suitable gait sequence for 5 leg structure was formed. The effects of vibrations in the robot's base during the walk on manipulator position control are presented graphically and the results are discussed.
