Inverse kinematics solution for trajectory tracking using artificial neural networks for SCORBOT ER-4u

摘要

This paper presents the kinematic analysis of the SCORBOT-ER 4u robot arm using a Multi-Layered Feed-Forward (MLFF) Neural Network. The SCORBOT-ER 4u is a 5-DOF vertical articulated educational robot with revolute joints. The Denavit-Hartenberg and Geometrical methods are the forward kinematic algorithms used to generate data and train the neural network. The learning of forward-inverse mapping enables the inverse kinematic solution to be found. The algorithm is tested on hardware (SCORBOT-ER 4u) and reliable results are obtained. The modeling and simulations are done using MATLAB 8.0 software.
