This paper describes a model based analysis of a differential planar servomechanism (two degrees of freedom); this system is meant to achieve high performance as regards the positioning precision (meant as both repeatability and accuracy) keeping a relative high dynamic.

Mechanisms usually have to be particularly designed to meet the high-performance requirements in terms of different applications. For instance, Two degrees of freedom (DOF) rotational parallel mechanisms (RPMs) with a fixed center-of-rotation can eliminate parasitic motion and could provide the rotary stage with excellent dynamic stability, good controllability and easy operation. Therefore, this paper mainly aims at synthesizing 2-DOF RPMs with fixed center-of-rotation, a class of special RPMs with potential excellent performances. A graphic approach based on freedom and constraint spaces is introduced firstly. The constraint spaces of a class of the existing 2-DOF RPMs are illustrated, and the corresponding type synthesis patterns are summarized by comparing the geometric properties of those spaces with the mechanism characteristic. After fully decomposing the four-dimensional constraint space into sub-constraint spaces, a general type synthesis procedure is proposed based on the freedom and constraint topology. Two novel 2-DOF RPMs with fixed center-of-rotation are constructed based on the proposed method and procedure. The proposed graphic approach proves to be effective and simple to synthesizing those parallel mechanisms with some special performance.

This paper presents the design procedure and experimental results of a high performance adaptive augmentation technique applied to a controller derived based on linear quadratic methods. The Quanser two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) helicopter was chosen as the experimental platform on which these controllers were implemented. The paper studies the implementation of each of these controllers standalone as well as in the augmented scheme, and discusses its performance and robustness for cases with parametric uncertainties, and unmodeled dynamics. An attempt is made to combine linear quadratic tracker's reliability with the adaptive augmentation's robustness toward modeling uncertainties. It is found that appropriate tuning of parameters in the adaptive framework is key to its performance and thus the process of choosing the parameters is elaborated along with guidelines for choosing a reference model. Tuning considerations for controller implementation on the experimental setup as compared to the same on the numerical model are also addressed. The experiments performed on this system serve as a suitable research test and evaluation basis for robotics and flight control applications.
