A mobile surveillance robot, which is mounted at a UGV is under development in order to protect important public area from invaders. It is required to a control system for stabilization of the robot, in order to compensate the disturbance from the UGV. To develop such a robot, expensive field tests are necessary. To reduce the numbers of field tests, a parallel robot that can regenerate UGV motion is very effective tool to test the mobile surveillance robot in the laboratory environment. In this paper, simulation based design procedure for developing 6-axis parallel robot has been introduced for the test of a mobile surveillance robot. The 3D geometric model of the parallel robot is created using ProE. The multi body dynamics model of the parallel robot is also created using ADAMS to carry out kinematics and dynamics analyses. UGV bump run simulation is carried out to generate the UGV motion. The inverse kinematics program is also developed using the Matiab program.

Peng Xu,Bing Li,Chi-Fai Cheung,Ju-Fan Zhang 한국정밀공학회 2017 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.18 No.4

Polishing is a kind of finishing process that can effectively reduce the surface defects and improve the form accuracy. This paper presents a novel hybrid machine with 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) serial-parallel topological structure used as an ultra-precision polishing equipment which is composed of a 3-DOF parallel robot, a 2-DOF serial robot and a turntable providing a redundant DOF. Due to the complexity of structure, stiffness performance evaluation of the parallel robot becomes a challenge. As a result, a theoretical model of the parallel robot based on the virtual work principle and the deformation superposition principle is formulated for analyzing the stiffness performance. With the developed model, a multi-objective dimensional optimization method is developed to maximize both the workspace volume and the global stiffness performance of the parallel robot. Artificial intelligence approach based on genetic algorithms is implemented to obtain an optimal combination of structural parameters. The effectiveness of this method is validated by simulation and the parallel robot with optimized structural parameters has a workspace with higher stiffness performance, hence justifies its suitability for high precision polishing.

Nowadays robotic technology is widely used in rehabilitation especially in stroke rehabilitation. Comparing conventional robots, cable-driven parallel robots have many advantages such as low moving inertia, high power efficiency, large workspace, low cost, and so forth. On this account, three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) cable-driven parallel for upper limb rehabilitation is currently under development. This paper presents motion analysis of upper limb to design a 3-DOF upper limb rehabilitation robot. Main feature of this rehabilitation robot is to provide the relatively large workspace and to be less dangerous in the situation of robot’s malfunction due to reduced moving part. Since our rehabilitation is being designed to have a planar workspace, the motion of upper limb is also analyzed in a plane.

In this paper, we propose new parallel mechanism of a 3 dimensional biped robot whose each leg is composed of two 3-dof parallel platforms linked serially. This proposed parallel mechanism is able to move freely in the man-made environment and is applied to various fields, such as medical, welfare, and so on. And a total weight of each leg is expected to be lighter than serial linked leg. One side leg consists of a 3-dof orientation platform and 3-dof asymmetric parallel platform. The former consists of three active linear actuators and seven passive joints, and the latter of two active linear actuators, one active rotational actuator and eight passive joints. Thus, there are two kinds of parallel platforms each chain’s elements and active joint’s positions are different for the biped robot to move freely like a serial link without the kinematics constraints. The effectiveness and the performance of the proposed parallel mechanism and locomotion trajectory are shown in computer simulations with a 12-DOF parallel biped robot.

In this paper, an integrated optimization of a parallel biped robot, whose one leg is constructed of two parallel platforms, is performed. The purpose of this optimization is to minimize energy consumption when the robot has stable walk. Research results show that the consumed energy can be saved by the structure of robot legs as well as the gait trajectories of a robot. Furthermore, the energy, which the robot consumes through the integrated optimization, is lower than that of only trajectories optimization. Genetic Algorithm is employed in order to search the best chromosomes which simultaneously generate stable gait trajectories of biped robot and design parameters of robot legs. As tools of a simulation, Matlab Simulink and RecurDyn, commercial software, are used to control the robot and construct dynamic modeling of the robot, respectively.

We have been developing an underwater robot for harbour construction using a parallel mechanism. The robot is attached to the rope of a crane, which carries a large stone to the undersea. The robot's yaw and pitch are controlled by hydraulic cylinders but its roll is uncontrollable. We mount thrusters to rotate the robot in CW or CCW. This paper presents a model based-controller to control the robot's roll. We develop the dynamic model to describe the robot's rolling by a second order system and identify the model parameters by a least square method. PD controller is implemented with the dynamic model which computes the required control input to compensate disturbances. This paper introduces the underwater robot system and presents the experimental results of the proposed controller.

With the aim of improving the damping capacity of high-speed industrial robots, the links made of carbon/natural fibers reinforced hybrid composite is used for replacing aluminum links in the limbs of the 3CRS robot, a 6-degrees of freedom (DOFs) parallel robot with only 3 limbs. In this paper, vibration and damping analyses of the 3CRS robot, integrating composite links, are presented. The dynamic analysis of the robotic structure with the viscoelastic composite links are performed by an analytical method based on the matrix structural analysis method combined with the Lagrange equations and the correspondence principle. By using the analytical method, the modal frequencies and the loss factor of the reformed robot with the hybrid composite links are determined and compared with those of the initial robot with the aluminum links. The results show that the reformed robot with the hybrid composite links has similar modal frequencies, but considerably higher damping capacity in comparison with the initial robot. The damping improvements could allow the robot to achieve higher precision, operate with faster speeds/accelerations and work in harder dynamic loading conditions. It confirms therefore the benefits of using carbon/natural fibers hybrid composite in robotic structures.

Dimensional synthesis of six-degrees-offreedom high-speed parallel robot using comprehensive evaluation index

Fan Zhang,Jiangping Mei,Yanqin Zhao 대한기계학회 2020 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.34 No.3

Existing high-speed parallel robots cannot satisfy the operating requirements of non-planar industrial generating line. Considering this problem, this study proposes a comprehensive index that can be used for the dimensional synthesis design of a six-degrees-offreedom (6-DOF) (three translations and three rotations) parallel robot. The index is based on kinematic, coupling characteristic, and dynamic analyses. A comparison with the dimensional parameters of a previously designed robot shows that the proposed design method can effectively decrease the indexes in various aspects and improve the motion performance of the robot. In addition, the servo motor specifications are estimated using the common trajectory and seven-time B-spline curve motion law to meet the robot motion requirements. Therefore, the proposed design approach has successfully been used to guide and develop the design process of the 6-DOF high-speed parallel robot.

Development of a 6-axis robot′s finger force/moment sensor for stable grasping of an unknown object

Kim, Gab-Soon Korean Society for Precision Engineering 2004 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.5 No.3

This paper describes the development of a 6-axis robot's finger force/moment sensor, which measures forces $F_x$(x-direction force), $F_y$and $F_z$, and moments $M_x$ (x-direction moment), $M_y$ and $M_z$ simultaneously, for stable grasping of an unknown object. In order to safely grasp an unknown object using the robot's gripper, the force in the gripping direction and the force in the gravity direction should be measured, and the force control should be performed using the measured forces. Also, the moments $M_x$, $M_y$ and $M_z$ to accurately perceive the position of the object in the grippers should be detected. Thus, the robot's gripper should be composed of 6-axis robot's finger force/moment sensor that can measure forces $F_x$, $F_y$ and $F_z$, and moments $M_x$ $M_y$ and $M_z$ simultaneously. In this paper, the 6-axis robot's finger force/moment sensor for measuring forces $F_x$, $F_y$ and $F_z$, and moments $M_x$ $M_y$ and $M_z$ simultaneously was newly modeled using several parallel-plate beams, designed, and fabricated. The characteristic test of the fabricated sensor was performed, and the result shows that interference errors of the developed sensor are less than 3%. Also, Robot's gripper with the 6-axis robot's finger force/moment sensor for the characteristic test of force control was manufactured, and the characteristic test for grasping an unknown object using the sensors was performed using it. The fabricated gripper could grasp an unknown object stably. Thus, the developed 6-axis robot's finger force/moment sensor can be used for robot's gripper.
