A classification of volumetric hydraulic machines is proposed, which is based on the structure of a plain kinematic chain that closes the working chamber. The class of the hydraulic machine determines the number of bodies included in this chain; the series determines composition of the kinematic pairs of this chain. The classification covers all volumetric hydraulic machines used in modern technology. Keywords: volumetric hydraulic machine, classification, working chamber, kinematic chain, mechanism structure.

In the context of robot manipulation, Salisbury's taxonomy is the common standard used to define the types of contact interactions that can occur between the robot and a contacted object; the basic concept behind such classification is the modeling of contacts as kinematic pairs. In this paper, we extend this notion by modeling the effects of a robot contacting a body as kinematic chains. The introduced kinematic-chain-based contact model is based on an extension of the Bruyninckx–Hunt approach of surface–surface contact. A general classification of nonfrictional and frictional contact types suitable for both manipulation analyses and robot hand design is then proposed, showing that all standard contact categories used in robotic manipulation are special cases of the suggested generalization. New contact models, such as ball, tubular, planar translation, and frictional adaptive finger contacts, are defined and characterized. An example of manipulation analysis that lays out the relevance and practicality of the proposed classification is detailed.

Abstract A new graph theoretic concept of link-centre of a kinematic chain is introduced. The link-centre of a kinematic chain is defined as a subset of set of links of the kinematic chain using a hierarchy of criteria based on distance concept. A number of structural invariants are defined for a kinematic chain which may be used for identification and classification of kinematic chains and mechanisms. An algorithm is developed on the basis of the concept of distance and the link-centre for optimum selection of input, output and fixed links in a multi-degree-of-freedom function generator.

Kinematic chains differ due to the structural differences between them. The location of links, joints and loops differ in each kinematic chain to make it unique. Two similar kinematic chains will produce similar motion properties and hence are avoided. The performance of these kinematic chains also depends on the individual topology, i.e. the placement of its entities. In the present work an attempt has been made to compare a family of kinematic chains based on its structural properties. The method is based on identifying the chains structural property by using its JOINT LOOP connectivity table. Nomenclature J - Number of joints, F - Degree of freedom of the chain, N - Number of links, L - Number of basic loops (independent loops plus one peripheral loop).

The graph layout problem arises frequently in the conceptual stage of mechanism design, specially in the enumeration process where a large number of topological solutions must be analyzed. Two main objectives of graph layout are the avoidance or minimization of edge crossings and the aesthetics. Edge crossings cannot be always avoided by force-directed algorithms since they reach a minimum of the energy in dependence with the initial position of the vertices, often randomly generated. Combinatorial algorithms based on the properties of the graph representation of the kinematic chain can be used to find an adequate initial position of the vertices with minimal edge crossings. To select an initial layout, the minimal independent loops of the graph can be drawn as circles followed by arcs, in all forms. The computational cost of this algorithm grows as factorial with the number of independent loops. This paper presents a combination of two algorithms: a combinatorial algorithm followed by a force-directed algorithm based on spring repulsion and electrical attraction, including a new concept of vertex-to-edge repulsion to improve aesthetics and minimize crossings. Atlases of graphs of complex kinematic chains are used to validate the results. The layouts obtained have good quality in terms of minimization of edge crossings and maximization of aesthetic characteristics.

A novel construction method is proposed to construct multimode deployable polyhedron mechanisms (DPMs) using symmetric spatial RRR compositional units, a serial kinematic chain in which the axes of the first and the third revolute (R) joints are perpendicular to the axis of the second R joint. Single-loop deployable linkages are first constructed using RRR units and are further assembled into polyhedron mechanisms by connecting single-loop kinematic chains using RRR units. The proposed mechanisms are over-constrained and can be deployed through two approaches. The prism mechanism constructed using two Bricard linkages and six RRR limbs has one degree-of-freedom (DOF). When removing three of the RRR limbs, the mechanism obtains one additional 1-DOF motion mode. The DPMs based on 8R and 10R linkages also have multiple modes, and several mechanisms are variable-DOF mechanisms. The DPMs can switch among different motion modes through transition positions. Prototypes are 3D-printed to verify the feasibility of the mechanisms.

Forward Kinematic

Forward kinematics is one of the main research fields in robotics, where the goal is to obtain the position of a robot’s end-effector from its joint parameters. This work presents a method for achieving this using a recursive algorithm that builds a 3D computational model from the configuration of a robotic system. The orientation of the robot’s links is determined from the joint angles using Euler Angles and rotation matrices. Kinematic links are modeled sequentially, the properties of each link are defined by its geometry, the geometry of its predecessor in the kinematic chain, and the configuration of the joint between them. This makes this method ideal for tackling serial kinematic chains. The proposed method is advantageous due to its theoretical increase in computational efficiency, ease of implementation, and simple interpretation of the geometric operations. This method is tested and validated by modeling a human-inspired robotic mobile manipulator (CHARMIE) in Python.

Abstract. A plane kinematic chain inversion refers to a plane kinematic chain with one link fixed (assigned as the ground link). In the creative design of mechanisms, it is important to select proper ground links. The structural synthesis of plane kinematic chain inversions is helpful for improving the efficiency of mechanism design. However, the existing structural synthesis methods involve isomorphism detection, which is cumbersome. This paper proposes a simple and efficient structural synthesis method for plane kinematic chain inversions without detecting isomorphism. The fifth power of the adjacency matrix is applied to recognize similar vertices, and non-isomorphic kinematic chain inversions are directly derived according to non-similar vertices. This method is used to automatically synthesize 6-link 1-degree-of-freedom (DOF), 8-link 1-DOF, 8-link 3-DOF, 9-link 2-DOF, 9-link 4-DOF, 10-link 1-DOF, 10-link 3-DOF and 10-link 5-DOF plane kinematic chain inversions. All the synthesis results are consistent with those reported in literature. Our method is also suitable for other kinds of kinematic chains.

Abstract A systematic procedure is presented for the structure type synthesis of multiloop spatial kinematic chains with general variable constraints in this paper. The parameters and the structure types of the contracted graphs and the branch chains used to synthesize such kinematic chains are given for kinematic chains with up to four independent loops. The assignments for the constraints values of all the loops in a kinematic chain are discussed. Using these as the basis, the structure types of the multiloop spatial kinematic chains with hybrid constraints could be synthesized.
