This paper presents the research and design of a novel parallel architecture of pre-stressed six-component force/torque sensor based on the Stewart platform. The mathematical model of the structure was build by using the screw theory. The influence of joint frictional moment on the performances of the sensor is analyzed by using the concept of kinematic influence coefficient. In this paper, we define the indices of force/torque isotropy and generalized amplifying index to evaluate the performances of the sensor and discuss the optimal design of the sensor dimensions considering these indices. The prototype sensor was designed and manufactured. The theoretical and experimental study of the static calibration of the prototype is carried out, and the problem of the hyperstatic is solved perfectly. The results from the static calibration experimentation validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

In view of the existing problems of traditional interventional catheters, particularly poor activity, operation difficulty and mass blind area, a novel interventional catheter with a cable-driven active head-end is proposed, and a prototype was built to verify the performance. This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of the cable-driven prototype, a dynamic model based on Kanes method combined with screw theory was presented in this paper. According the mathematical model and the prototypes structure, the analysis of kinematics and dynamics of active head-end-end is done in the environment of Mathematica. The needed driving forces of every joint when the system moving along planned trajectory are calculated. The results can provide a basis for the structure design and motion control of the interventional active catheter.

According to the design requests of certain heavy truck, this paper introduces a design scheme of pneumatic AMT automatic shift system, which focuses on the structure characteristics and working principles of the three-position cylinder controlled by two solenoid valves. And the mathematical model of the three-position cylinder controlled by two solenoid valves is established based on pneumatic principle. The dynamic model of this mechanism was built by AMEsim software. The variety of pressure and stroke of intake/exhaust chamber was simulated under different air pressures. The theoretical basis is provided to design the AMT election-shift actuator.

Force sensor based on the six degree of freedom (6-DoF) Stewart platform is universal for wide applications. Mechanism errors are significant for its measuring accuracy. However, because of the multi-variables and the complicated forms, it is difficult to solve the expression directly. The Monte Carlo method is proposed based on the analysis of the system structure and the mathematical model. The effect of mechanism errors on the measurement accuracy was assessed. With this method, a complex accuracy expression of the sensor could be avoided. It also provided a theoretical basis for designing the sensor of the Stewart platform.

SummaryIn this paper, a lumped parameter model of a robotic fibre placement system consisting of a Motoman SK-120 robot, a force/torque sensor, a pneumatic actuator and a stiff workpiece holder is developed and experimentally verified for the purpose of predicting and characterising the dynamic behaviour of the fibre placement system. Special attention has been given to the dynamics of the actuator which is represented as a mass confined to move between two non-linear springs and dampers. The overall model containing manipulator, force sensor, pneumatic actuator and the workpiece holder dynamics is of the tenth order. Step response experiments were conducted to verify the model and to determine the approximate values of the parameters in the mathematical model. The results prove that the established model is accurate enough to explain the dynamic behaviour of the fibre placement system and it can be employed to quantify the influence of the dynamics of the pneumatic actuator on the constant force-based fibre placement. The well-known fact that the dynamics of the pneumatic actuator varies with the piston position has also been experimentally demonstrated.

Abstract In the paper there are analyzed the procedures used in the process of calibrating concerning control and measurement equipment. There was assumed the mathematical model of the measuring instrument which was then analyzed. The factors that result from the imperfect technical condition of the control and measurement equipment and may have an impact on the measurement results were also analyzed. Models of errors’ models were assumed that may affect the calibration results. The static calibration of control and measurement equipment was analyzed. The results of numerical simulations concerning the static calibration of control and measurement equipment were presented, taking into account the linear and non-linear processing functions of the measurement equipment. The results of computations obtained for various models of processing functions were compared with each other and conclusions were drawn regarding the accuracy of the mapping of the measured quantity.
