Manipulability Index of a Parallel Robot Manipulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The manipulability index is used to quantify manipulators velocity transmission capabilities or the dexterity of robot. The index is a measure of manipulating ability of robotic mechanisms in positioning and orienting the end effectors. The index allows to quantify the proximity of the robot to a singularity, which is ideal for identifying paths of welding with continuous and soft movements at the robot joints. A university of Maryland manipulator is considered in the present paper. Manipulability index values are determined for the selected structures. A MATLAB code is developed and used for the analysis. The results are graphically presented.

A New Algorithm for Measuring and Optimizing the Manipulability Index
The estimation of the performance characteristics of robot manipulators is crucial in robot application and design. Furthermore, studying the manipulability index for every point within the workspace of any serial manipulator is considered an important problem. Such studies are required for designing trajectories to avoid singular configurations. In this paper, a new method for measuring the ma...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...
متن کاملManipulability of cooperating robots with unactuated joints and closed-chain mechanisms
In this paper, we study the differential kinematics and the kineto-static manipulability indices of multiple cooperating robot arms, including active and passive joints. The kinematic manipulability indices are derived extending previous results on cooperating robots without passive joints. The force manipulability analysis for cooperative robot systems cannot be straightforwardly derived by “d...

In this research, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used as a powerful tool to solve the inverse kinematic equations of a parallel robot. For this purpose, we have developed the kinematic equations of a Tricept parallel kinematic mechanism with two rotational and one translational degrees of freedom (DoF). Using the analytical method, the inverse kinematic equations are solved for spe...
