Dynamics of a 9-DoF robotic leg for a football simulator

This paper focuses on a robotic human-like leg. This robot was designed and modeled for task of kicking soccer ball to desired target. In addition, applications of this robot have been explained and its kinematics and dynamics equations have been developed. Kinematic analysis has been done using Denavit-Hartenberg method and position, velocity and acceleration of center of mass (CoM) of all links can be obtained. Dynamics equations of this robot have been written using recursive Lagrange method and inverse dynamics problem has been solved. Finally, kinematics and dynamics equations of this robot are verified using a numerical simulation in MATLAB simmechanics.
