Three Degrees Of Freedom

Most of the current rehabilitation equipment is bulky and slow to respond. Therefore, we designed a portable three-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton and discrete-mode control system for this situation. The three degrees of freedom of the exoskeleton robot arm was the wrist swing, the forearm lateral movement, and the elbow rotation. We collected the EMG signals of the biceps and triceps, then filtered the acquired EMG signals and extracted features in order to obtain effective information that reflected the activity intentions. Based on this, a discrete motion control method using the EMG signals to achieve elbow rotation was designed. Experiment suggests that the average pattern recognition accuracy rate can reach more than 90%.

Three Degrees Of Freedom

Abstract This paper presents a study of the architecture optimization of a three-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism intended for use as a telescope mirror focussing device. The construction of the mechanism is first described. Since the mechanism has only three degrees of freedom, constraint equations describing the inter-relationship between the six Cartesian coordinates are given. These constraints allow us to define the parasitic motions and, if incorporated into the kinematics model, a constrained Jacobian matrix can be obtained. This Jacobian matrix is then used to define a dexterity measure. The parasitic motions and dexterity are then used as objective functions for the optimizations routines and from which the optimal architectural design parameters are obtained.

This paper presents the analysis of the variety of methods regarding aerial guided bomb control during the ground attack on a moving target. Based on this method there was an earlier research regarding motion control of the three degrees of freedom gyroscope axis [1,2] during space exploration and discovered target tracking. Positive results obtained during that research led to conclusion that the proposed control method will be accurate to establish a control force for aerial bomb guiding. This method is based on the use of phase trajectories control deviations. Switching of the control forces in the particular phase plane points causes the deviations to decrease to zero and facilitates the proper trajectory of the bomb. This paper presents a switching algorithm, equations of kinematics and dynamics of a bomb flight-path and the variety of examples of a numerical simulations. Obtained results were presented in the graphic form.

In this article, a manipulator is presented belonging to the class of cable-suspended robots, for which the cable length variations are related by suitable functions in order to achieve specific kinematic characteristics. In particular, in this article, a Cartesian cable-suspended robot is proposed that has eight cables to have three degrees of freedom (DOF) in Cartesian space. The eight cables of the robot are arranged in parallel by pairs with identical length, with the aim of constraining the moving platform to keep a constant orientation with respect to the fixed frame. The robot can be used for selective compliant assembly robot arm (SCARA) motions (when an additional revolute actuated joint is placed on the moving platform) for a variety of applications in which a large workspace is required. In this article, a geometry analysis of the robot is presented together with a numerical simulation of the kinetostatics and dynamics to investigate the robot's performances in several operative conditions. Furthermore, a characterization of the position workspace regions is reported for this cable-suspended robot.

Three Degree Of Freedom

The kinematics modeling of the robot arm plays an important role in robot control. This paper presents the kinematic model of a three-degree of freedom articulated robot arm, which is designed for picking and placing an application with hand gripper, where a robot has been manufactured for that purpose. The forward kinematic model has been presented in order to determine the end effector’s poses using the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) convention. For inverse kinematics, an algebraic solution based on trigonometric formulas mixed with geometric method was adopted for a 3 DOF modular manipulator taking into account the existence of a shoulder offset. MATLAB software was used as a tool to simulate and implement the motional characteristics of the robot arm, by creating a 3D visual software package under designing a Graphical User Interface "GUI" with a support simulation from robotic Toolbox (Rtb 10.3). Finally, an electronic interfacing circuit between the GUI program and the robot arm was developed using Arduino microcontroller to control the robot motion. The presented work can be applicable for learning the reality interface design methodology of the other kinds of robot manipulators and achieve a suitable solution for the motional characteristics

Abstract. Three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) parallel mechanism (PM) with limbs of embedding structures is a kind of PM with a coupling relationship between limbs. In order to obtain a more desirable motion, the analysis of its actuated pairs shall be conducted. However, the fact that the existence of limbs coupling results in non-unique limb group, this mechanism has multiple limb groups. In this regard, the traditional input selection theory is not suitable for direct application in the input rationality analysis. Aiming to avoid this, a general extended input selection theory and limb group selection rule are proposed. The former tackles the traditional input selection theory which is not suitable for analyzing the input of PM with limbs of embedding structures since it does not take the influence of group into consideration, whereas the latter makes the calculation of the former easier. Based on the extended input selection theory and the limb group selection rule, the input and configuration of the 3-DoF PM with limbs of embedding structures are improved.

Using an inversion approach we derive a control law for trajectory following of robotic systems. A servocompensator is used around the inner decoupled loop for robustness to uncertainty in the system. These results are applied to trajectory control of a three-degrees-of-freedom robot arm and control laws Cθ and CH for joint angle and position trajectory following, respectively, are derived. Digital simulation results are presented to show the rapid trajectory following capability of the controller in spite of payload uncertainty.

Three Degrees Of Freedom

Pin-jointed wrist mechanisms provide compact articulation for surgical robotic applications, but are difficult to miniaturize at scales suitable for small body cavity surgery. Solid surface cable guide channels, which eliminate the need for pulleys and reduce overall length to facilitate miniaturization, were developed within a three-degree-of-freedom cable-driven pin-jointed wrist mechanism. A prototype was 3D printed in steel at 5 mm diameter. Friction generated by the guide channels was experimentally tested to determine increases in cable tension during constant cable velocity conditions. Cable tension increased exponentially from 0 to 37% when the wrist pitched from 0 deg to 90 deg. The shape of the guide channel groove and angle, where the cable exits the channel impacts the magnitude of cable tension. A spring tensioning and cam actuation mechanism were developed to account for changing cable circuit path lengths during wrist pitch. This work shows that pulley-free cable wrist mechanisms can facilitate miniaturization below current feasible sizes while retaining compact articulation at the expense of increases in friction under constant cable velocity conditions.

SUMMARYIn this study, a bilateral teleoperation control algorithm is developed in which the model-mediation method is integrated with an impedance controller. The model-mediation method is also extended to three-degrees-of-freedom teleoperation. The aim of this controller is to compensate for instability issues and excessive forcing applied to the slave environment stemming from time delays in communication. The proposed control method is experimentally tested with two haptic desktop devices. Test results indicate that stability and passivity of the bilateral teleoperation system is preserved under variable time delays in communication. It is also observed that safer interactions of the slave system with its environment can be achieved by utilizing an extended version of the model-mediation method with an impedance controller.
