Abstract


Maintaining body stability is a key challenge for hexapod robots in stair navigation. This study proposes an inverse kinematics (IK)-based approach for dynamic balance control using real-time joint angle computation. Experimental results show that the method maintains body orientation near a neutral position, achieving a minimum pitch angle of 7.3°, thereby improving stability and reducing mechanical collision risk. System performance is also influenced by actuator speed and battery voltage.
