New Direct Kinematic Formulation of 6 D.O.F Stewart-Gough Platforms Using the Tetrahedron Approach

چکیده
The paper presents a single constraint equation of the direct kinematic solution of 6-dof (Stewart-Gough) platforms. Many research works have presented a single polynomial of the direct kinematics for several 6-dof platforms. However, the formulation of the polynomial has potential problems such as complicated formulation procedures and discrimination of the actual solution from all roots. This results in heavy computational burden and time-consuming task. Thus, to overcome these problems, we use a new formulation approach, called the Tetrahedron Approach, to easily derive a single constraint equation, not a polynomial one, of the direct kinematics and use two wellknown numerical iterative methods to find the solution of the single constraint equation. Their performance and characteristics are investigated through a series of simulation.

Kinematic modeling of stewart-gough platforms
This paper describes a method to solve the direct kinematics of a generic Stewart-Gough manipulators. The method is formulated in terms of a search in the space of rigid body transformations. The underlying idea is that the solutions of the direct kinematics can be obtained by moving the end-effector body according rotations and translations and accounting for the rigidity conditions. The paper...
متن کاملAn Inverse Dynamic Model of the Gough-Stewart Platform
In this paper a new formulation of the inverse dynamic model of the Gough-Stewart platform is proposed. This approach is based on the methodology developped by Khalil. The platform is considered as a multi robot system moving a common load. Using a global formalism, the Jacobian and inertia matrices of each segment are computed in a factorized form. This paper provides a basis for parallel algo...

Direct Kinematic Analysis of 3-rs Parallel Mechanisms
This article presents a direct kinematic analysis of 3-RS parallel mechanisms. A 3-RS parallel mechanism consists of a ®xed base and a moving platform connected by three serial chains, with each serial chain containing one passive revolute joint and one passive spherical joint. A variety of 3-RS mechanisms have been proposed in the literature, to overcome the disadvantages of small workspace ch...
متن کاملNew Geometric Approaches to the Analysis and Design of Stewart-Gough Platforms
In general, rearranging the legs of a Stewart-Gough platform, i.e., changing the locations of its leg attachments, modifies the platform singularity locus in a rather unexpected way. Nevertheless, some leg rearrangements have been recently found to leave singularities invariant. Identification of such rearrangements is useful not only for the kinematic analysis of the platforms, but also as a t...
