Finite Element Analysis of Motion Gesture for Four-Legged Walking Robot MiniQuad-1

Abstract:

When walking robot MiniQuad-1 moves, the motion error is larger. The robot’s structure deformation is obvious. In order to improve the precision of the walking robot, the finite element analysis technique is adopted to research four-legged walking robot MiniQuad-1 in this paper. After the structure of the robot is introduced, the motion error of robot is discussed. The robot kinematics planning is completed based kinematics analysis. Some Motion postures are built using the solidworks. Static analysis of the motion pose is completed by using ansys software for robot MiniQuad-1. According to the analysis results, the robot structure improvement measures are determined. Further, the force and deformation for robot is studied after loading to lay the foundation for expand the robot of subsequent application.
