Abstract
In this research paper, the multilayer feedforward neural network (MLFFNN) is architected and described for solving the forward and inverse kinematics of the 3-DOF articulated robot. When designing the MLFFNN network for forward kinematics, the joints' variables are used as inputs to the network, and the positions and orientations of the robot end-effector are used as outputs. In the case of inverse kinematics, the MLFFNN network is designed using only the positions of the robot end-effector as the inputs, whereas the joints’ variables are the outputs. For both cases, the training of the proposed multilayer network is accomplished by Levenberg Marquardt (LM) method. A sinusoidal type of motion using variable frequencies is commanded to the three joints of the articulated manipulator, and then the data is collected for the training, testing, and validation processes. The experimental simulation results demonstrate that the proposed artificial neural network that is inspired by biological processes is trained very effectively, as indicated by the calculated mean squared error (MSE), which is approximately equal to zero. The resulted in smallest MSE in the case of the forward kinematics is 4.592×10^(-8) in the case of the inverse kinematics, is 9.071×10^(-7). This proves that the proposed MLFFNN artificial network is highly reliable and robust in minimizing error. The proposed method is applied to a 3-DOF manipulator and could be used in more complex types of robots like 6-DOF or 7-DOF robots.
