Article deals with the design of the end effector on SCARA robot whose task is to manipulate from three kinds of products.Two types of products have the precisely defined offtake points and are oriented by means of vibrating trays.The third type of product comes undirected by conveyor belt.Position and orientation of the third product is identified by means of a camera system. The role of the article is to suggest such a solution robotic effector that without the use of automatic exchange of effectors was possible to manipulate from all products on the robotized workplace.

Simulation Results

A new fast successive approximation algorithm for the solution of the inverse position analysis of a general serial manipulator is presented. With the algorithm, we can search out the inverse solution of the serial manipulator quickly under the desired precision when the position of the three non-collinear end effector points is given. The position analysis of the 7R redundant serial manipulator is illustrated in the literature as an example. The simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Since the three non-collinear end effector points can be selected at random, the algorithm can be applied to any other type serial manipulator.

Actuated Joints

The direct position analysis (DPA) of a manipulator is the computation of the end-effector poses (positions and orientations) compatible with assigned values of the actuated-joint variables. Assigning the actuated-joint variables corresponds to considering the actuated joints locked, which makes the manipulator a structure. The solutions of the DPA of a manipulator one to one correspond to the assembly modes of the structure that is generated by locking the actuated-joint variables of that manipulator. Determining the assembly modes of a structure means solving the DPA of a large family of manipulators since the same structure can be generated from different manipulators. This paper provides an algorithm that determines all the assembly modes of two structures with the same topology that are generated from two families of mechanisms: one planar and the other spherical. The topology of these structures is constituted of nine links (one quaternary link, four ternary links, and four binary links) connected through 12 revolute pairs to form four closed loops.

Manipulators with 3-RSR topology are three-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulators that may be either spherical or mixed-motion manipulators. The inverse position analysis (IPA) and the workspace determination of 3-RSR manipulators are addressed by means of a new approach. The new approach is centered on a particular form of the closure equations called compatibility equations. The compatibility equations contain only the six coordinates (end-effector coordinates) which locates the end-effector pose (position and orientation) with respect to the frame, and the geometric constants of the manipulator. When the manipulator geometry is assigned, the common solutions of the compatibility equations are the end-effector coordinates which identify the end-effector poses belonging to the manipulator workspace. Moreover, they can be the starting point to easily solve the IPA. The presented compatibility equations can be also used to solve the position synthesis of the 3-RSR manipulator. This way of solving the position synthesis will demonstrate that only approximated solutions exist when more than eight end-effector poses are given.

The paper presents an algorithm for the real-time evaluation of the actual end-effector orientation (pose) of general parallel spherical wrists. Conceptually, the method relies on the evidence that the pose of a rigid body is defined once the location of at least two linearly independent vectors attached to the body is known. The location of these vectors of the wrist end-effector is determined by the solution of the direct position analysis of some properly chosen kinematic chains (legs) of the manipulator. In order to accomplish this analysis, extra-sensors, which measure suitable non-actuated variables of the chosen legs, need to be placed in addition to the ones normally embedded in the servo motors, i.e. the sensors which measure the actuated variables. From a mathematical point of view, the algorithm is built on the Polar Decomposition of a matrix and has inherent least square features. Thus, together with measurement redundancy, i.e. more sensors (extra-sensors) than the mechanism degrees of freedom, the method also allows minimizing the influence of both round-off and measurement errors on the estimation of the location of the wrist end-effector. The method is general but, in order to prove its effectiveness, without loss of generality it has been customized to the solution of the (3-UPS)S fully parallel wrist architecture. Comparison of the proposed method, in both its general and specialized form, with others from the literature is provided.

In this literature, recent development in control and performance enhancement of SCARA(Selective Compliance Articulated Robotic Arm) robotic arm is reviewed. SCARA robotic arm is very popular in the manufacturing industry for its positioning accuracy and repeatability. The SCARA robot has higher flexibility in the horizontal plane and great robustness for vertical motion. This makes the SCARA robot a perfect device for pick and place applications. In the paper, the Kinematic analysis based on DH formulation of the RPR (Revolute-Prismatic-Revolute) configuration-based SCARA robotic arm is presented. In recent years the main focus of the research was to achieve the accurate positioning of the end effector by using different control systems and process algorithms.

SUMMARYPick-and-place applications need to perform rigid body displacements that combine translations along three independent directions and rotations around one fixed direction (Schoenflies motions). Such displacements constitute a four-dimensional (4-D) subgroup (Schoenflies subgroup) of the 6-D displacement group. The four-degrees of freedom (dof) manipulators whose end effector performs only Schoenflies motions are named Schoenflies-motion generators (SMGs). The most known SMGs are the serial robots named SCARA. In the literature, parallel manipulators (PMs) have also been proposed as SMGs. Here, a novel single-loop SMG of type 2PRPU is studied. Its position analysis, singularity loci and workspace are addressed to provide simple analytic and geometric tools that are useful for the design. The proposed single-loop SMG is not overconstrained, its actuators are on or near the base and its end effector can perform a complete rotation. These features solve the main drawbacks that parallel SMG architectures have in general and make the proposed SMG a valid design alternative.

The determination of the assembly modes of the parallel structures with three legs of type PS or SP (P and S stand for prismatic pair and spherical pair, respectively) consists of solving the direct position analysis of all the three-legged parallel manipulators which have, in each leg, one not actuated prismatic pair, one not actuated spherical pair and one or two one-dof actuated pairs of any type, placed along the leg in any order. There are two types of such structures: (i) 3PS structures and (ii) SP-2PS structures. The procedure to determine the assembly modes of the SP-2PS structures has not been presented yet, in the literature. This paper presents the analytic form determination of the assembly modes of the SP-2PS structures. In particular, the closure equations of a generic SP-2PS structure will be written and their solution will be reduced to the solution of an eight-degree univariate polynomial equation with real coefficients. Finally, the proposed algorithm will be applied to a real case. The result of this study is that the assembly modes of any SP-2PS structure are at most eight, and the end-effector poses, which solve the direct position analysis of the parallel manipulators that generate those structures, are also eight.
