Cable Robots

In this paper, a new three degrees of freedom (DOF) differentially actuated cable parallel robot is proposed. This mechanism is driven by a prismatic actuator and three cable differentials. Through this design, the idea of using differentials in the structure of a spatial cable robot is investigated. Considering their particular properties, the kinematic analysis of the robot is presented. Then, two indices are defined to evaluate the workspaces of the robot. Using these indices, the robot is subsequently optimized. Finally, the performance of the optimized differentially driven robot is compared with fully actuated mechanisms. The results show that through a proper design methodology, the robot can have a larger workspace and better performance using differentials than the fully driven cable robots using the same number of actuators.

A novel 3-UP3R parallel mechanism with six degree of freedoms is proposed in this paper. One most important advantage of this mechanism is that the three translational and three rotational motions are partially decoupled: the end-effector position is only determined by three inputs, while the rotational angles are relative to all six inputs. The design methodology via GF set theory is brought out, using which the limb type can be determined. The mobility of the end-effector is analyzed. After that, the kinematic and velocity models are formulated. Then, workspace is studied, and since the robot is partially decoupled, the reachable workspace is also the dexterous workspace. In the end, both local and global performances are discussed using conditioning indexes. The experiment of real prototype shows that this mechanism works well and may be applied in many fields.

Simulation Results

This paper deals with the design and analysis of a novel and simple two-translation and one-rotation (3 degrees of freedom, 3-dof) mechanism for alignment. Firstly, degree of freedom of the parallel robot is solved based on the theory of screw. Secondly considering the demand of motion control, we have conducted the analysis on the 3-dof parallel robot, which includes inverse displacement, forward displacement, and simulation based on SolidWorks Motion. The simulation results indicate that the novel 3-dof robot is suitable for performing the required operations.

Abstract The use of continuous and flexible structures instead of rigid links and discrete joints is a growing field of robotics research. Recent work focuses on the inclusion of continuous segments in parallel robots to benefit from their structural advantages, such as a high dexterity and compliance. While some applications and designs of these novel parallel continuum robots have been presented, the field remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, an exact quantification of the kinematic advantages and disadvantages when using continuous structures in parallel robots is yet to be performed. In this paper, planar parallel robot designs using tendon actuated continuum robots instead of rigid links and discrete joints are proposed. Using the well-known 3-RRR manipulator as a reference design, two parallel continuum robots are derived. Inverse and differential kinematics of these designs are modeled using constant curvature assumptions, which can be adapted for other actuation mechanisms than tendons. Their kinematic performances are compared to the conventional parallel robot counterpart. On the basis of this comparison, the advantages and disadvantages of using continuous structures in parallel robots are quantified and analyzed. Results show that parallel continuum robots can be kinematic equivalent and exhibit similar kinematic performances in comparison to conventional parallel robots depending on the chosen design.

Based on the control decoupled principle and approach of Position and Orientation Characteristic (in short, POC) set, a novel decoupled parallel robot with 3-Translation and 2-Rotation (in short, 3T2R) outputs has been presented in the paper. And the topological structure of this new mechanism is fully decoupled, which have the advantages of easily control, simple kinematic analysis, and so on. Then the structure and displacement analysis of this novel parallel robot have been accomplished. The research provides theoretical basis for design and practical applicability of this novel parallel robot.

The Impact

Legged robots are more maneuverable, and can negotiate rough terrain much better than conventional locomotion using wheels. However, since the kinematic or dynamic analysis of such robots involves closed chains, it is typically more difficult to investigate the impact of design changes, such as the number, or the design of its legs, to robot performance. Most legged robots consist of 4 legs (quadrupeds) or 6 legs (hexapods). This paper discusses the kinematic analysis of an unconventional, symmetrical 5-legged robot with 2-DOF (Degrees Of Freedom) universal joints in each leg. The analysis was carried out in order to predict the mobility of the upper body platform, and investigate the number of robot actuators needed for mobility. The product of exponentials formulation with respect to the local coordinate frames is used to describe the twists of the joints. The analysis is based on the idea that the robot body platform along with the legs can be considered instantaneously as a parallel robot manipulating the ground. Hence, the analysis can be done using the Jacobian formulation of parallel robots. Simulation results confirm the mobility analysis that the robot can have at most 3-DOF for the body and that these freedoms are coupled rotations and translations in 3D space also with a dependence on the configuration of the robot.

The paper addresses the multi-objective optimization of a 2-DoF purely translational parallel manipulator. The kinematic analysis of the Proposed T2 parallel robot is introduced briefly. The objective functions are optimized simultaneously to improve Regular workspace Share (RWS) and Global Conditioning Index (GCI). A Multi-Objective Evolution Algorithm (MOEA) based on the Control Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (controlled ENSGA-II) is used to find the Pareto front. The optimization results show that this method is efficient. The parallel manipulator prototype is also exhibited here.
