Simulated Framework for the Development and Evaluation of Redundant Robotic Systems

In the current work we present a simulated environment for the development and evaluation of multi redundant open chain manipulators. The framework is implemented in Matlab and provides solutions for the kinematics and dynamics of an arbitrary open chain manipulator. For a anthropomorphic trunk-shoulder-arm configuration with in total nine degree of freedoms, a closed form solution of the inverse kinematics problem is derived. The attractor dynamics approach to motion generation was evaluated within this framework and the results are verified on the real anthropomorphic robotic assistant Cora.
