The ruled surface is formed by the movement of a director based on a curve. The point P not on the director vector at fixed frame o-ijk draws a curve. However, each position of this point on the curve always corresponds to position of director on the ruled surface, or this point is adjoint to director vector. Thus, the curve is adjoint to the ruled surface. In this study, we expressed the adjoint trajectory of robot end effector. We can change the trajectory of the robot movement by defining the adjoint trajectory when it may not be physically achievable and not re-computation of the robot trajectory. We investigated the angular acceleration and angular velocity of adjoint trajectory of the robot end effector. Also, we obtained the condition that moving point is a fixed point.

Some situations that change the parameters of the kinematic structure may cause the robot end effector to deviate [Merlet [2005] Parallel Robots, Vol. 128 (Springer Science & Business Media, Germany)] from the desired trajectory. This effect is called the robustness of the robot by Merlet. One of the ways to correct the robustness is by updating the robot trajectory. The jerk vector of the robot end effector is the third-order positional variation of the TCP and defined as thus the time derivative of the acceleration vector. If there is a high curvature on the transition curve trajectory of robot, then there is a tangential jerk along the trajectory. In this study, the geometrically offset trajectory of the robot end effector from the current trajectory was obtained by using the curvature theory. The angular velocity and angular acceleration of the offset trajectory were calculated. An example of the main trajectory of robot end effector and its offset is given. Also, the jerk of the robot end effector of the offset trajectory was calculated according to the curvature of the trajectory surface in case of a jerk problem caused by a high curvature in the transition curve along the offset trajectory curve.

The trajectory of a robot end-effector is completely described by a ruled surface and a spin angle about the ruling of the ruled surface. In this way the differential properties of motion of the end-effector are obtained from the well-known curvature theory of a ruled surface. The robot can then be programmed so that the end-effector will follow the prescribed trajectory with high accuracy. In the case where the ruled surface cannot be described by an explicit analytic function, the ruled surface may be represented by a geometric modeling technique. Since a ruled surface can be expressed in terms of a single parameter, a curve generating technique is used to represent the ruled surface. The technique presented in this paper is the Ferguson curve model which guarantees that the trajectory will pass through all of the set points and will have curvature continuity at each set point. To illustrate the proposed method of robot trajectory planning, a practical example is included in the paper.

In this paper we study the motion of a robot end-effector by using the curvature theory of a dual unit hyperbolic spherical curve which corresponds to a timelike ruled surface with timelike ruling generated by a line fixed in the end-effector. In this way, the linear and angular differential properties of the motion of a robot end-effector such as velocities and accelerations which are important information in robot trajectory planning are determined. Moreover, the motion of a robot end-effector which moves on the surface of a right circular hyperboloid of one sheet is examined as a practical example.

Using the curvature theory for the ruled surfaces a technique for robot trajectory planning is presented. This technique ensures the calculation of robot’s next path. The positional variation of the Tool Center Point (TCP), linear velocity, angular velocity are required in the work area of the robot. In some circumstances, it may not be physically achievable and a re-computation of the robot trajectory might be necessary. This technique is suitable for re-computation of the robot trajectory. We obtain different robot trajectories which change depending on the darboux angle function and define trajectory ruled surface family with a common trajectory curve with the rotation trihedron. Also, the motion of robot end effector is illustrated with examples.

The trajectory of a robot end-effector is described by a ruled surface and a spin angle about the ruling of the ruled surface. In this way, the differential properties of motion of the end-effector are obtained from the well-known curvature theory of a ruled surface. The curvature theory of a ruled surface generated by a line fixed in the end-effector referred to as the tool line is used for more accurate motion of a robot end-effector. In the present paper, we first defined tool trihedron in which tool line is contained for timelike ruled surface with timelike ruling, and transition relations among surface trihedron: tool trihedron, generator trihedron, natural trihedron, and Darboux vectors for each trihedron, were found. Then differential properties of robot end-effector's motion were obtained by using the curvature theory of timelike ruled surfaces with timelike ruling.

In robotics, there are two methods of trajectory planning: the joint interpolation method which is appropriate for fast transition of the robot end-effector; and the cartesian interpolation method which is appropriate for slower motion of the end-effector along straight path segments. Neither method, however, is sufficient to allow a smooth, differentiable, transition of position and orientation of the end-effector. In this paper, we propose a method of trajectory planning that will permit more accurate motion of a robot end-effector. The method is based on the curvature theory of a ruled surface generated by a line fixed in the end-effector, referred to as the tool line. The orientation of the end-effector about the tool line is included in the analysis to completely describe the six degree-of-freedom motion of the end-effector. The linear and angular properties of motion of the end-effector, determined from the differential properties of the ruled surface, are utilized in the trajectory planning.

An obstacle avoidance method of action support 7-DOF manipulators is proposed in this paper. The manipulators are controlled with impedance control to follow user's motions. 7-DOF manipulators are able to avoid obstacles without changing the orbit of the end-effector because they have kinematic redundancy. A joint rate vector is used to change angular velocity of an arbitrary joint with kinematic redundancy. The priority of avoidance is introduced into the proposed method, so that avoidance motions precede follow motions when obstacles are close to the manipulators. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated through obstacle avoidance simulations and experiments.

In this paper the algorithm is completed for generation of envelope-surfaces for plane-workspaces of generally proportioned manipulators. Then the ruled surface Ψ is used for adapting the algorithm to 3-R manipulators for which the outermost two axes intersect (a2 = 0). The discriminant D is further developed, and it is used to classify 3-R manipulators, having a2 = 0, into seven Types. Manipulators, which are of Type 7, (i) can provide any orientation to a tool plane σ or (ii), with a fourth appropriately placed R joint and tool plane Σ, can also provide any attitude to the end effector. Design conditions are developed and presented which ensure that a manipulator will possess these properties of dexterity. The conditions are based on coupled motions at all three, or four, axes.

Abstract In this paper, a rotational robotic arm is designed, modelled and optimized. The 3D model design and optimization are conducted by using SolidWorks. Forward kinematics are derived so as to determine the position vector of the end effector with respect to the base, and subsequently being able to calculate the angular velocity and torque of each joint. For the goal positioning problem, the PD control law is typically used in industry. It is employed in this application by using virtual torsional springs and frictions to generate the torques and to keep the system stable.
