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.

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.

Abstract According to the topological design theory and the method of parallel mechanism (PM) based on position and orientation characteristic (POC) equations, this paper studied a three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) translational PM that has three advantages, i.e., (i) it consists of three fixed actuated prismatic joints, (ii) the PM has analytic solutions to the direct and inverse kinematic problems, and (iii) the PM is of partial motion decoupling property. First, the main topological characteristics, such as the POC, degree-of-freedom, and coupling degree, were calculated for kinematic modeling. Thanks to these properties, the direct and inverse kinematic problems can be readily solved. Further, the conditions of the singular configurations of the PM were analyzed, which corresponds to its partial motion decoupling property.

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.

Abstract This paper presents a new trajectory planning method based on the improved quintic B-splines curves for a three degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR). First, the conditions of positive cables’ tension are expressed in terms of the position and acceleration constraints of the end-effector. Then, an improved B-spline curve is introduced, which is employed for generating a pick-and-place path by interpolating a set of given via-points. Meanwhile, by expressing the position and acceleration of the end-effector in terms of the first and second derivatives of the improved B-spline, the cable tension constraints are described in the form of B-spline parameters. According to the properties of the defined pick-and-place path, the proposed motion profile is dominated by two factors: the time taken for the end-effector to pass through all the via-points and the ratio between the nodes of B-spline. The two factors are determined through multi-objective optimization based on the efficiency coefficient method. Finally, experimental results on a 3-DOF CDPR show that the improved B-spline exhibits overall superior behavior in terms of velocity, acceleration, and cables force compared with the traditional B-spline. The validity of the proposed trajectory planning method is proved through the experiments.
