Abstract
This paper provides a method for modeling the center of mass (COM) of hexapod manipulation systems, which is based on the Statically Equivalent Serial Chain (SESC) model. First, the product of exponentials (POE) formula is used to construct the SESC model for the simple tree-like chain. Then, in order to apply this method to real scenarios, the situation when the robot stands on uneven terrain is studied. In addition, the static grasp constraints for the manipulation and the Jacobian matrix for the COM of the system are analyzed. Moreover, we present a modified tumble stability margin, which considers all of the possible ways that the robot can tumble. Finally, based on these kinematic analyses, a motion control scheme for statically stable manipulation is proposed. The results are validated with simulations.
