Hexapod Robot Movement Control
Kocich, Martin ; Janoušek, Vladimír (referee) ; Rozman, Jaroslav (advisor)
At the beginning of the research, the skeleton of the hexapod robot was equipped with servomotors only and no control unit or sensors. The objective of this thesis is to develop an overall solution for the control of the robot in question. Furthermore, to create a graphical interface to control and monitor the robot using Qt environment. Raspberry Pi 4 and ROS software running on operational system Ubuntu 20.04 was chosen to control the hexapod. While researching available software options, an existing solution was found. This solution was extended with feedback from the servo motors and the control algorithms were modified. Furthermore, new hardware was tested, e.g.: cameras with depth sensing capability. The found solution is extended e.g. with additional motion modes, graphical interface, support for new hardware, updates to the outdated version of ROS and its components. All problems during the implementation of the solution have been sufficiently solved. This thesis walks through the entire research process and then breaks down the commissioning of the robot from skeleton to working solution.
