SIMULATION OF ANTHROPOMORPHIC ROBOTS WITH ELASTIC DRIVES BY INTRODUCING VIRTUAL LINKS

Anthropomorphic walking robots are among the most promising robot types, due to the possibility to introduce them into the urbane environment through the use of the existing infrastructure. Control systems developed for such robots require access to the exact mathematical models of these robots, taking into account the properties of actuators, gears and sensors. In this paper, we consider approaches to describing the model of a bipedal walking robot with elastic drives. The robot is a three-link mechanism that moves in the sagittal plane and performs verticalization (sit-to-stand transfer). Two variants of describing the dynamics of the robot are shown. In the first variant, the number of equations describing the movement of the robot is doubled due to the introduction of elastic drives, in comparison with the case when there are no elastic elements present. In the second variant, there is robot model and the elastic element dynamics model, and bothare described separately. The advantages of this method include the fact that it allows us to preserve the structure and properties of the equations of motion of the mechanism used in constructing control methods in cases when the elastic properties of the gears are not taken into account, and it also allows to conserve the structure of the generalized inertia matrix. The simulation results are presented in two described previously variants, their comparison is made. It is established that both mathematical models behave almost identically, with the most significant differences manifested in the formation of control actions generated by the regulator.
