Sensory Redundant Parallel Mobile Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel design for a mobile robot based on the kinematics of parallel mechanisms. The robot consists of 3 legs, each equipped with an asynchronous driving unit. The legs are connected to the driving units with spherical joints and to the upper plate with a revolute joint. Three additional encoders, attached to the upper revolute joints provide redundant data. This data is used by a kinematic model for accurate estimation of the robot’s configuration and position in space, even in rough terrains, where conventional odometry fails. Simulation results show the advantages of the design, and suggest a method for detection of irregularities of surfaces in unknown environments.

Interval Analysis of Controllable Workspace for Cable Robots
Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. However, the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...
متن کاملFrequency-tuned cerebellar channels and burst-induced LTD lead to the cancellation of redundant sensory inputs.
For optimal sensory processing, neural circuits must extract novel, unpredictable signals from the redundant sensory input in which they are embedded, but the detailed cellular and network mechanisms that implement such selective cancellation are presently unknown. Using a combination of modeling and experiment, we characterize in detail a cerebellar circuit in weakly electric fish, showing how...
متن کاملDesign of a Four Legged Parallel Walking Robot to Go through a Narrow Hole
This paper designs a four legged parallel walking robot to go through a narrow hole. Topology design is conducted for a leg mechanism composed of four legs, base and ground, which constitute a redundant parallel mechanism. This mechanism is subdivided into four sub-mechanism composed of three legs. A motor vector is adopted to determine the 6x8 Jacobian of the redundant parallel mechanism and t...
متن کاملAn Episodic Mapping Algorithm for Mobile Robot Self-localisation: \meaning" through Self-organisation 1
This paper presents an episodic mapping mechanism used for the self-localisation of autonomous mobile robots. A two layer self organising neural network classiies perceptual and episodic information to identify \perceptual landmarks" (and thus the robot's position in the world) uniquely. Through this process ambiguous and redundant sensory information is used to generate meaningful information ...
متن کاملMotion Planning for Redundant Parallel Kinematic Mechanism Using Joint Torque Distribution
This paper presents the motion planning for the redundant parallel kinematic mechanism using joint torque distribution that satisfies a path of the end-effector. The redundant parallel kinematic mechanism more numbers of actuator than numbers of degrees-of-freedom, and it has the advantage of bigger workspace than non-redundant parallel kinematic mechanism by eliminating singularities. The redu...
