The utility of a robot manipulator focuses on the ability to locate its end effector in a position with a determined orientation following a specified trajectory. For this, algorithms were used in order to generate and control the movements joints of robot in a synchronized way. The high-level languages to program robots are based on three types of movement: joint interpolation (MOVEJ), linear interpolation (MOVES), and circular arcs (MOVEC), which are used to develop any type of task. In this work, these three movements are implemented in the industrial controller CompactRIO, as part of the reconditioning process of a robot manipulator of five degrees of freedom (5 DOF) whose controller was obsolete. As a result, it will have an interface in LabVIEW where you can view and modify the basic parameters implemented in the industrial controller. In addition, the results of the validation tests of the joint positions and the end effector of the manipulator will be found.

Smart (active) materials based actuators, hereinafter called micro-actuators, have been shown to be well suited for the elimination of high harmonics in joint and/or end-effector motions of robot manipulators and in the reduction of actuator dynamic response requirements. Low harmonic joint and end-effector motions, as well as low actuator dynamic response requirements, are essential for a robot manipulator to achieve high operating speed and precision with minimal vibration and control problems. Micro-actuators may be positioned at the end-effector to obtain a micro- and macro-robot manipulation configuration. Alternatively, micro-actuators may be integrated into the structure of the links to vary their kinematics parameters, such as their lengths during the motion. In this paper, the kinematics and dynamics consequences of each of the aforementioned alternative are studied for manipulators with serial and closed-loop chains. It is shown that for robot manipulators constructed with closed-loop chains, the high harmonic components of all joint motions can be eliminated only when micro-actuators are integrated into the structure of the closed-loop chain links. The latter configuration is also shown to have dynamics advantage over micro- and macro-manipulator configuration by reducing the potential vibration and control problems at high operating speeds. The conclusions reached in this study also apply to closed-loop chains of parallel and cooperating robot manipulators.

SUMMARYIn this paper, design, dynamic, and control of the motors of a spatial cable robot are presented considering flexibility of the joints. End-effector control in order to control all six spatial degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the system and motor control in order to control the joints flexibility are proposed here. Corresponding programing of its operation is done by formulating the kinematics and dynamics and also control of the robot. Considering the existence of gearboxes, flexibility of the joints is modeled in the feed-forward term of its controller to achieve better accuracy. A two sequential closed-loop strategy consisting of proportional derivative (PD) for linear actuators in joint space and computed torque method for nonlinear end-effector in Cartesian space is presented for further accuracy. Flexibility is estimated using modeling and simulation by MATLAB and SimDesigner. A prototype has been built and experimental tests have been done to verify the efficiency of the proposed modeling and controller as well as the effect of flexibility of the joints. The ICaSbot (IUST Cable-Suspended robot) is an under-constrained six-DOF parallel robot actuated by the aid of six suspended cables. An experimental test is conducted for the manufactured flexible joint cable robot of ICaSbot and the outputs of sensors are compared with simulation. The efficiency of the proposed schemes is demonstrated.

Kinematic Singularities

This paper presents a coordinate-invariant differential geometric analysis of kinematic singularities for closed kinematic chains containing both active and passive joints. Using the geometric framework developed in Park and Kim (1996) for closed chain manipulability analysis, we classify closed chain singularities into three basic types: (i) those corresponding to singular points of the joint configuration space (configuration space singularities), (ii) those induced by the choice of actuated joints (actuator singularities), and (iii) those configurations in which the end-effector loses one or more degrees of freedom of available motion (end-effector singularities). The proposed geometric classification provides a high-level taxonomy for mechanism singularities that is independent of the choice of local coordinates used to describe the kinematics, and includes mechanisms that have more actuators than kinematic degrees of freedom.

This paper proposes a design and control method of a supporting arm which reduces factory worker load. The supporting arm is a robot manipulator, which is driven by pneumatic cylinders, and is attached to the worker’s hip. In some situation, the factory worker is forced to work with an uncomfortable posture. By using the supporting arm, the worker leg loads are relaxed, and the worker posture is stabilized. To support 50 % weight of the worker, the link system of the supporting arm is designed, and the pneumatic cylinders for actuation are selected. There are two required specifications: (i) support force is sufficient for supporting target load, and (ii) desired stiffness characteristics in the hip height direction can be obtained. The support force is controlled by a two degrees of freedom control system to satisfy the required specifications. An experimental system of the supporting arm was developed, and its performance was evaluated by experiments. As a result, the experimental system shows capability of supporting the target weight and controllability of stiffness.

This paper presents the mechanical/naval design process of an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV), required to obtain reliable visual information, used for surveillance and maintenance of ship shells and underwater structures of Colombian port facilities. The design was divided into four main subsystems: mechanical/naval, hardware, software and guidance, navigation and control. The most relevant design constraints were evaluated considering environmental conditions, dimensional restrictions, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, degrees of freedom and the availability of instrumentation and control hardware. The mechanical/naval design was performed through an iterative process by using computational tools, including Computer Aided Design CAD, Computer Aided Engineering CAE, Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD and a high level programming environment. The obtained design ensures that the reliable operation of the robot will be achieved by using a consistent construction process. The new ROV constitutes an innovative product in Colombia, and it will be used for surveillance and oceanographic research tasks.

Three Degrees Of Freedom

Cable-driven parallel robots can provide interesting advantages over conventional robots with rigid links; in particular, robots with a cable-suspended architecture can have very large workspaces. Recent research has shown that dynamic trajectories allow the robot to further increase its workspace by taking advantage of inertial effects. In our work, we consider a three-degrees-of-freedom parallel robot suspended by three cables, with a point-mass end-effector. This model was considered in previous works to analyze the conditions for dynamical feasibility of a trajectory. Here, we enhance the robot’s capabilities by using it as a sling, that is, by throwing a mass at a suitable time. The mass is carried at the end-effector by a gripper, which releases the mass so that it can reach a given target point. Mathematical models are presented that provide guidelines for planning the trajectory. Moreover, results are shown from simulations that include the effect of cable elasticity. Finally, suggestions are offered regarding how such a trajectory can be optimized.

We report on recent work in modelling the process of grasping and active touch by natural and artificial hands. Starting from observations made in human hands about the correlation of degrees of freedom in patterns of more frequent use (postural synergies), we consider the implications of a geometrical model accounting for such data, which is applicable to the pre-grasping phase occurring when shaping the hand before actual contact with the grasped object. To extend applicability of the synergy model to study force distribution in the actual grasp, we introduce a modified model including the mechanical compliance of the hand's musculotendinous system. Numerical results obtained by this model indicate that the same principal synergies observed from pre-grasp postural data are also fundamental in achieving proper grasp force distribution. To illustrate the concept of synergies in the dual domain of haptic sensing, we provide a review of models of how the complexity and heterogeneity of sensory information from touch can be harnessed in simplified, tractable abstractions. These abstractions are amenable to fast processing to enable quick reflexes as well as elaboration of high-level percepts. Applications of the synergy model to the design and control of artificial hands and tactile sensors are illustrated.
