Balance With a Two-Legged Robot With Artificial Neural Network Support
Abstract
Robots
are usually designed by inspiration from living creatures in the nature. It is
inspired by the behaviors of 4 legged animals in the nature and various
characteristics are given to robots. Many animals with four legs have the
ability to walk and even walk new-born. The physiological developments of these
creatures are completed in the mother’s womb and soon after birth, bone and leg
muscle groups are available. It is a well-known fact that living beings can
stay in balance by standing up to their legs after birth and carry out their
neurological signals to the muscles of the legs. In this study, we have studied
the robot kinematics and dynamics of 2-legged robot which resembles a 4-legged
robot in the light of this study, and the robotic ability of the robot to stand
on the ground with an artificial neural network(ANN) support. For the dynamic
motion, the planar model of the robot is considered and 7-axis motion equations
are obtained. The aim of the robot is to be able to stand up from the ground
and stay in balance and it is aimed to be realized with the use of an artificial
neural network structure as learning result. Conventional PID control method
has been used for control signals that should be applied to robot joints.
System responses were obtained graphically and the results were evaluated.
