Abstract

In this chapter, robot motion and adaptation co-simulations in MATLAB and V REP environments are described. The simulations feature various motion scenarios, including pipe adaptation, motion on horizontal surfaces, rough terrain, horizontal and vertical pipes. The simulations performed provided valuable resources for control system of the robot prototype and served as indispensable validation tools for proper desing and tuning of the original pedipulator trajectory calculation algorithm.
