Foot trajectory analysis of a robotic leg

Abstract

Abstract When it comes to walking robots, foot trajectory is a crucial element that can significantly influence the efficiency of the walking robot. This paper analyses the various foot return trajectories, which can provide higher step length while consuming less power. It is done through mathematical analysis and verified using simulations in software such as MSC Adams and Solidworks. This paper also discusses the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the two degrees of freedom leg using theoretical approaches in MATLAB and verifies the results using the simulation in MSC Adams.
