Generation of Under-Actuated Manipulators With Nonholonomic Joints From Ordinary Manipulators

چکیده
This paper shows how to generate underactuated manipulators by substituting nonholonomic spherical pairs for (holonomic) spherical pairs in ordinary (i.e. not underactuated) manipulators. As a case study, an underactuated manipulator, previously proposed by one of the authors, is demonstrated to be generated, through this pair substitution from an inversion of the 6-3 fully parallel manipulator. Moreover, the kinetostatic analysis of this underactuated manipulator is reconsidered, and a simple and compact formulation is obtained. The results of this kinetostatic analysis can be used both in the design of the underactuated manipulator and in its control. DOI: 10.1115/1.4000527

Carnegie Mellon University Dynamics and Control of Underactuated Manipulators
ivThe class of underactuated systems is composed of a variety of mechanical as well asbiological systems. The term underactuation refers to the fact that not all joints or degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of the system are equipped with actuators, or are directly controllable.The DOFs of an underactuated system are dynamically coupled, and their dynamicequations are nonlinear and a...
متن کاملGeneration of Under-actuated Parallel Robots with Non-holonomic Joints and Kinetostatic Analysis of a Case Study
It will be shown how to generate under-actuated manipulators by substituting non-holonomic spherical pairs (nS pairs) for (holonomic) spherical pairs (S pairs) in fully-parallel manipulators (FPMs). Through this pair substitution, an under-actuated manipulator, previously proposed by one of the authors, will be demonstrated to be generated from an inversion of the 6-3 FPM. Moreover, the kinetos...
متن کاملControl of nonholonomic free-joint manipulators with one actuator
Manipulators with free joints are second-order nonholonomic systems whose dynamical constraints are nonintegrable. Such systems are known to be underactuated systems which can be controlled by less actuator than the dimension of the configuration space. Previously proposed methods to control free-joint manipulators have been based on the assumption of perfectly frictionless free joints. In this...
متن کاملControl of Truss-based Manipulators Using Virtual Serial Models
This paper introduces a novel method for Cartesian trajectory and performance optimization control of kinematically-redundant trussbased manipulators (TBMs), The Virtual Serial Manipulator Approach. The approach is to model complex in-parallel-actuated TBMs as simpler kinematically-equivalent virtual serial manipulators. Standard control methods for kinematically-redundant serial manipulators c...
متن کاملTrajectory Tracking Control for Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators
In the paper we present new control algorithms for a special class of mobile manipulators, namely for nonholonomic mobile manipulators. A mobile manipulator is defined as a robotic system composed of a mobile platform and a manipulator mounted on the platform equipped with non-deformable wheels. Such a combined system is able to perform manipulation tasks in a much larger workspace than a fixed...
