Dynamic Model of a 3-dof Asymmetric Parallel Mechanism

Dynamic Model of a 3-dof Asymmetric Parallel Mechanism

Most research papers about parallel kinematic chain mechanisms investigate symmetric robot manipulators, in which all the limbs connecting the end-effector to the fixed based are composed by the same sequence of links and joints. Contrarily, in some manipulation tasks the velocity and stiffness requirements are anisotropic. In such cases, the asymmetric parallel kinematic chain mechanisms may o...

Control of a 3-dof Over-actuated Parallel Mechanism

This paper presents the control of ARCHI, a 3-dof over-actuated parallel mechanism, designed as a subpart of a 5-axis hybrid machining robot. Control strategies of the parallel sub-mechanism (3 dof / 4 actuators) managing the internal constraint on the mechanism are proposed and experimental results are discussed.

Argos: A Novel 3-DoF Parallel Wrist Mechanism

This article presents a novel parallel spherical mechanism called Argos with three rotational degrees of freedom. Design aspects of the first prototype built of the Argos mechanism are discussed. The direct kinematic problem is solved, leading always to four nonsingular configurations of the end effector for a given set of joint angles. The inverse-kinematic problem yields two possible configur...

Path Planning of a 3 DOF Servo-Hydraulic Mechanism Using Genetic Algorithm

The objective of this paper is path planning of a 3 DOF planer robot with hydraulic actuator using genetic algorithm. First the geometric and kinematic parameters of robot were established. The equations of motion are derived by Lagrange method. We proposed the model for proportional valve and hydraulic actuators. Then using the genetic algorithm we minimized the hydraulic energy consumption as...
