Abstract

In this paper, we present a solution of the inverse kinematic problem for a one-degree-of-freedom hexapod with a circular guide. The problem was solved applying analytical and numerical calculation methods using MATLAB package. The given algorithm for solving the inverse problem also allows studying the six-degree-of-freedom hexapod. The paper presents assembling computational models (virtual prototypes) of one- and six-degree-of-freedom hexapods with a circular guide.
