Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for converting a parameter of a multi-joint robot. The apparatus for converting a parameter of a multi-joint robot according to the present disclosure includes a parameter derivation unit configured to drive a unified robot description format (URDF) of an individual joint constituting the multi-joint robot, a coordinate calculation unit configured to calculate a coordinate system of the individual joint, and calculate a joint axis vector of the individual joint and a joint axis vector of a subsequent joint connected to the individual joint based on the coordinate system of the individual joint, and a parameter conversion unit configured to convert the URDF of the individual joint into a Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameter based on the joint axis vector of the individual joint and the joint axis vector of the subsequent joint.
