Cable Robots

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.

Rotational Motions

A novel 3-UP3R parallel mechanism with six degree of freedoms is proposed in this paper. One most important advantage of this mechanism is that the three translational and three rotational motions are partially decoupled: the end-effector position is only determined by three inputs, while the rotational angles are relative to all six inputs. The design methodology via GF set theory is brought out, using which the limb type can be determined. The mobility of the end-effector is analyzed. After that, the kinematic and velocity models are formulated. Then, workspace is studied, and since the robot is partially decoupled, the reachable workspace is also the dexterous workspace. In the end, both local and global performances are discussed using conditioning indexes. The experiment of real prototype shows that this mechanism works well and may be applied in many fields.

Simulation Results

This paper deals with the design and analysis of a novel and simple two-translation and one-rotation (3 degrees of freedom, 3-dof) mechanism for alignment. Firstly, degree of freedom of the parallel robot is solved based on the theory of screw. Secondly considering the demand of motion control, we have conducted the analysis on the 3-dof parallel robot, which includes inverse displacement, forward displacement, and simulation based on SolidWorks Motion. The simulation results indicate that the novel 3-dof robot is suitable for performing the required operations.

Abstract The use of continuous and flexible structures instead of rigid links and discrete joints is a growing field of robotics research. Recent work focuses on the inclusion of continuous segments in parallel robots to benefit from their structural advantages, such as a high dexterity and compliance. While some applications and designs of these novel parallel continuum robots have been presented, the field remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, an exact quantification of the kinematic advantages and disadvantages when using continuous structures in parallel robots is yet to be performed. In this paper, planar parallel robot designs using tendon actuated continuum robots instead of rigid links and discrete joints are proposed. Using the well-known 3-RRR manipulator as a reference design, two parallel continuum robots are derived. Inverse and differential kinematics of these designs are modeled using constant curvature assumptions, which can be adapted for other actuation mechanisms than tendons. Their kinematic performances are compared to the conventional parallel robot counterpart. On the basis of this comparison, the advantages and disadvantages of using continuous structures in parallel robots are quantified and analyzed. Results show that parallel continuum robots can be kinematic equivalent and exhibit similar kinematic performances in comparison to conventional parallel robots depending on the chosen design.

Mechanical Devices

Motion simulation platforms are mechanical devices designed to replicate the dynamics of a given vehicle. These devices are very attractive for training individuals as drivers, pilots or passengers. In the case of river boats, the simulator consists of a section of the boat (hull) mounted over a 3 DOF parallel robot with a passive mass compensator (3UPS + PU). If users have mobility in the hull, an uncertainty in the position of the upper platform’s center of mass is produced. This variation may generate excessive loads on the robot that can be prevented by an adequate placement of the hull over the robot. Dynamic calculations, based on measurements of the real boat in motion, are computed by numerical simulations in SimMechanics. Three methodologies are presented for optimizing the configuration of a boat simulation platform. First, a manual procedure is developed in which critical cases are intuitively detected and evaluated. Then, two multi-variable optimization algorithms are used to systematically obtain the best position and orientation (pose) of the boat section: Genetic Algorithms and low discrepancy sequences. The pose is the design variable; the average forces are the objective functions and the maximum difference between the average forces is the fitness function. The article describes the design problem, the proposed optimization methodologies and simulation results for the optimal configuration.

Symbolic Operation

This paper presents the explicit mapping relations between topological structure of parallel mechanism and position and orientation characteristic (in short, POC) of its motion output link. It deals with: (1) The symbolic representation and the invariant of topological structure of mechanism; (2) The matrix representation of POC of motion output link; (3) The POC equations of parallel mechanism and its symbolic operation rules. The symbolic operation involves simple mathematic tools and fewer operation rules, and has clear geometrical meaning. So, it is easy to use. The forward operation of the POC equations can be used for structural analysis; its inverse operation can be used for structural synthesis. The method proposed in this paper is totally different from the methods based on screw theory and based on displacement subgroup.
