Abstract

The paper, after some theoretical hints on the “morphogenetic neuron” proposes the use of this new technique to solve one of the most important themes in robotics, the manipulator kinematics structure representation and the following solution of the inverse kinematics problem. Even if the application has been completed and fully tested with success only on a two degrees of freedom SCARA robot, the first results here reported obtained on a more complex manipulator (spherical) seem to confirm the effectiveness of the approach.
