Abstract

The free body diagram method, based on the dynamic equations of isolated rigid bodies, is used to overcome the difficulties in dynamic modeling of legged robots. The article presents a simulator for a six leg machine. Both kinematic and dynamic models are developed. Kinematic equations are derived with the Denavit-Hartenberg method. The free body diagram method is used to obtain the dynamic model. Some results of simulation are presented.
