In this paper, a novel continuum robot for search and rescue is presented. A forward kinematic model is derived by product of exponentials formula, compare with conventional D-H method, this method is concise and simplicity. Finally, based on the differential kinematics using the chain rule, the overall Jacobian of the robot is established.

This paper presents kinematic analysis of a 3-degree of freedom parallel mechanism for hexapod walking-operating multifuctional robot. Each leg of the robot consists of three limbs: universal joint – prismatic joint chain (1-UP) and universal joint – prismatic joint – spherical joint chain (2-UPS) and at the end of the leg there is passive spherical joint to adjust to the uneven ground. In this paper, first the forward kinematic model is built and it shows that the model has close-form solution. Then the work space is discussed in which the robot feet trajectories can be projected. It can be shown that the current trajectories of the feet only take very small work space. After that force analysis is performed and the results show that the payload capability of the mechanism is very high. Experiments of the prototype show that the robot can walk easily with more than 150 kg loads while the step size is more than 0.5 m.

Planar Parallel Manipulators

SUMMARYThis paper investigates a comparative kinematic analysis between nonredundant and redundant 2-Degree Of Freedom parallel manipulators. The nonredundant manipulator is based on the Five-Bar mechanism, and the redundant one is a 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator. This study is aimed to select the best structure for a haptic application. This latter requires a mechanism with a desired workspace of 10 cm × 10 cm and an admissible force of 5 N in all directions. The analysis criteria are the accuracy of the forward kinematic model and the required actuator torques. Thereby, the geometric parameters of the two structures are optimized in order to satisfy the required workspace such that parallel singularities are overcome. The analysis showed that the nonredundant optimally designed manipulator is more suitable for the haptic application.

Forward Kinematic

IPMC is becoming an increasingly popular material among scholars, engineers and scientists due to its inherent properties of low activation voltage, large bending strain, flexibility, softness, suitable response time which make them a strong candidate to be applied as artificial muscle in biomimetic land and underwater applications. The applications of IPMC have been growing due to progression in its manufacturing techniques, development of more accurate response models and control techniques, and recently more sophisticated IPMC actuator applications have been performed. In this paper, a new application of IPMC is proposed to actuate aileron fins of a micro scanning device towed underwater by a surface vessel to control its depth and to stabilize it against roll motion that can mimic pectoral fins of fish that steer them up and down by changing their angle of rotation and their dorsal fins that keep them upright against roll. Same is applicable for autonomous underwater vehicles. Secondly, a three link mechanism is presented to actuate aileron fin through IPMC actuator. Three dimensional model of the mechanism is developed in Pro-Engineer CAD software tool and its kinematic analysis is performed. Thirdly, forward kinematic model of proposed mechanism, based on geometric coordinate, is presented. Lastly, results of kinematic analysis of proposed mechanism are compared to that of model to verify its design and kinematics. Encouraging results decoy the research team to manufacture the mechanism and to perform experiments for its practical application.

Abstract One of the most challenging areas in robot design is its kinematic analysis for proper and efficient path planning. In agricultural robots, this study is even more crucial due to the uneven terrain and unstructured environment. In agricultural robots, work has been done on fruit harvesting robots yet its commercial recognition is still underway. Further research needs to be done in this field to make the fruit harvesting robots more commercially acceptable. In this paper, a 6 degree of freedom (DOF) orange harvesting robot is designed and its kinematic analysis is done. Forward kinematic is done using Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters while the inverse kinematics is done using algebraic method. The calculated formulas are verified by simulation on RoboAnalyzer software. The algorithm for inverse kinematics using probabilistic approach did not generate any error and worked successfully generating 16 results within the workspace. The simulated dynamic results also supported the kinematic model. The kinematic study validates the model design and calculations, whereas, its simulation verifies the path planning and reachability of oranges on the trees within the confined workspace.

This paper presents the kinematic analysis of a continuum bionic robot with three flexible actuation rods. Since the motion of the end-effector is actuated by the deformation of the rods, the robot structure is with high elasticity and good compliance and the kinematic analysis of the robot requires special treatment. We propose a kinematic model based on the geometry with constant curvature. The analysis consists of two independent mappings: a general mapping for the kinematics of all robots and a specific mapping for this kind of robots. Both of those mappings are developed for the single section and for the multisections. We aim at providing a guide for kinematic analysis of the similar manipulators through this paper.
