SUMMARYIn the authors' previous paper,10 an input shaping method was presented to reduce motion-induced vibrations effectively for various classes of flexible systems. In this paper, the effectiveness of the shaping method is experimentally demonstrated with a two-link flexible manipulator systemThe manipulator for experiments includes two revolute joints and two flexible links, and moves on a vertical plane under gravity. An analytic model is developed considering the flexibility of the system and its joint stiffness in order to derive an appropriate estimation of dynamic modal properties. The input shaping method used in this work utilizes time-varying modal properties obtained from the model instead of the conventional input shaping method which employs time-invariant modal properties. A point-to-point motion is tested in order to show the effectivess of the proposed shaping method in vibration reduction during and after a given motion. The given reference trajectories are shaped to suppress the motion induced vibration. The test results demonstrate that the link vibration can be greatly suppressed during and after a motion, and the residual vibration reduction was observed more than 90% by employing this time-varying impulse shaping technique.

The ability to track a trajectory without significant error is a vital requirement for mobile robots. Numerous methods have been proposed to mitigate tracking error. While these trajectory-tracking methods are efficient for rigid systems, many excite unwanted vibration when applied to flexible systems, leading to tracking error. This paper analyzes a modification of input shaping, which has been primarily used to limit residual vibration for point-to-point motion of flexible systems. Standard input shaping is modified using error-limiting constraints to reduce transient tracking error for the duration of the system’s motion. This method is simulated with trajectory inputs constructed using line segments and Catmull-Rom splines. Error-limiting commands are shown to improve both spatial and temporal tracking performance and can be made robust to modeling errors in natural frequency.

Theoretical Developments

Fast and accurate point-to-point motion is a common operation for industrial machines, but vibration will frequently corrupt such motion. This paper develops commands that can move machines without vibration, even in the presence of Coulomb friction. Previous studies have shown that input shaping can be used on linear systems to produce point-to-point motion with no residual vibration. This paper extends command-shaping theory to nonlinear systems, specifically systems with Coulomb friction. This idea is applied to a PD-controlled mass with Coulomb friction to ground. The theoretical developments are experimentally verified on a solder cell machine. The results show that the new commands allow the proportional gain to be increased, resulting in reduced rise time, settling time, and steady-state error.

In this study, a novel fuzzy logic–based decision support system approach to provide assistance in the selection of suitable input shaping techniques is presented. The proposed approach selects the suitable input shaping technique for point-to-point motion type of systems such as precise positioning, crane operations, flexible robotic systems and so on. The problem solution addressed is the selection of the input shaping technique and the settings for the selection of the input shaper. Some of these design issues require extensive expertise in command shaping and system modeling studies. To overcome these problems and the necessity for such an expertise in these application areas, the proposed technique is provided as a solution. The presented study also provides a review of input shaping methods as well as their advantages and disadvantages in terms of vibration elimination performance, traveling time and robustness features. In the final section of the study, the details of the simulations, as well as experimental results, are provided to validate the achieved high performance of the proposed technique. The experimental studies are conducted on a Quanser IP02 Gantry Crane experimental setup.

This paper presents a robust input shaping technique that significantly reduces (almost eliminates) the residual vibration of manipulation systems typified by a flexible-jointed robot manipulator. The technique consists of two stages. In the first stage, a ramp function is superimposed onto the main trajectory to be preshaped. In the second stage, the outcome of the first stage is convolved with a sequence of two impulses. The robustness of the technique to the uncertainties in the system natural frequency and damping ratio are quantified through simulation and experimental evaluation. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the technique is not only effective in reducing the residual vibrations, but also it is robust to the uncertainties of as ∓35% from the ideal value of the system natural frequency. Further, it has been found that the proposed input shaping technique is insensitive to the uncertainties in the damping ratio. The results allow us to suggest that the proposed technique is versatile and robust enough to apply it to the motion design of any flexible-jointed manipulation system making a point-to-point motion.

Abstract Input shaping is a method to reduce the motion-induced vibration in a flexible system. A kind of input shaping method (time-varying impulse shaping) has been proposed previously which is applicable to vibration reduction of time-varying systems. This paper presents experimental results of time-varying impulse shaping with a two-link flexible manipulator. The flexible manipulator has two revolute joints and moves on a vertical plane under gravity. A dynamic model was developed to provide a basis for the shaping, and the model was proved through some experiments. The reference trajectories commanded to the system are shaped by using the suggested time-varying impulse shaping. Implemented to the two-link flexible manipulator, test results demonstrate that the link vibration can be greatly suppressed during and after a point-to-point motion, and the residual vibration reduction was observed more than 90% with this shaping.

In this paper, a mobile robot named VicRoB with 6 degrees of freedom (DOFs) driven by three tracked vehicles is designed and analyzed. The robot employs a 3-PPSR parallel configuration. The scheme of the mechanism and the inverse kinematic solution are given. A path planning method of a single tracked vehicle and a coordinated motion planning of three tracked vehicles are proposed. The mechanical structure and the electrical architecture of VicRoB prototype are illustrated. VicRoB can achieve the point-to-point motion mode and the continuous motion mode with employing the motion planning method. The orientation precision of VicRoB is measured in a series of motion experiments, which verifies the feasibility of the motion planning method. This work provides a kinematic basis for the orientation closed loop control of VicRoB whether it works on flat or rough road.

An optimum design methodology is presented for point-to-point motion control servo systems in which d.c. permanent magnetic motors are used as the main actuators. Emphasis is focused on establishing a series of comprehensive decision-making practices in dealing with three major design subjects: determination of the velocity profile, optimization of the speed reduction ratio, and selection of the motor. Finally, a practical design example is discussed to illustrate how the suggested design methodology may be applied to actual design problems.
