Abstract
A new category of large-diameter adaptable amphibious wheel-legged robot is proposed in this paper. The proposed mechanism can climb obstacles better than existing designs. The Denavit–Hartenberg (D–H) coordinate system is used for kinematic analysis, and the constructed kinematic model is used to solve for these joint variables for a redundant robot. The control strategy is to plan both the foot trajectory of the amphibious robot, to optimize the operational performance in special environments, as well as the walking gait. Then the closed-loop control system is used. A simulation is used to verify the usefulness of the planned foot trajectory and walking gait for an entire running cycle, and a circuit is designed to solve a communication problem between the Arduino and the AX-12 servo. Finally, the foot trajectory of a single robot leg is captured by a three-dimensional motion-capture system to verify the rationality of the foot trajectory and walking gait.
