Abstract
The area of inverse kinematics of robots, mainly manipulators, has been widely researched, and several solutions exist. The solutions provided by analytical methods are specific to a particular robot configuration and are not applicable to other robots. Apart from this drawback, legged robots are inherently redundant because they need to have real humanoid configurations. This degree of redundancy makes the development of an analytical solution for the inverse kinematics practically unapproachable. For this reason, our proposed method considers the use of artificial neural networks to solve the inverse kinematics of the articulated chain that represents the robot’s legs. Since the robot should always remain stable and never fall, the learning set presented to the artificial neural network can be conveniently filtered to eliminate the undesired robot configurations and reduce the training process complexity.
