Abstract
- Aiming to mimic the brachiation locomotion of primates, we establish a brachiation robot model capable of swinging between different bars. The robot's design is based on a four-link underactuated structure. We propose an offline trajectory generator with optimization for minimizing energy consumption, which is implemented by direct collocation method to generate joint-space trajectories. We also propose a linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm as the feedback controller. The proposed MPC concurrently tracks both trajectories in joint space and Cartesian space. In simulation experiments, we analyzed the influence of lower-to-upper arm length ratio and swing time on the motion performance. The simulation results also demonstrate the robot has satisfied ability in trajectory tracking, obstacle avoidance and robustness.<br />Comment: Submitted to 2023 IEEE International Conference on Unmanned Systems (ICUS)
