Humanoid NAO: A Kinematic Encounter

SUMMARY In the current research, kinematic analysis of a humanoid NAO is attempted. Here, both Denavit–Hartenberg (DH) parameter approach and multibody formulation approach have been analyzed. In the DH parameter approach, the NAO robot is solved by separating it into five individual kinematic chains. In the multibody formulation approach, NAO is divided into 15 segments, and each segment is analyzed. Kinematic analysis holds a significant...
