Force Capabilities of Kinematically Redundant Planar Parallel Manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
A methodology to evaluate force capabilities of planar parallel manipulators is presented in this paper. Different from previous approach, kinematic redundancies are handled and proper used to improve force capabilities. Add to actuators wrench parameters normally present in a force optimization problem, kinematic redundancy introduces geometric parameters to be optimized, producing non-linear and non-convex objective functions that in general can be solved using a global optimization method. To address this global optimization problem, an evolutionary algorithm called differential evolution (DE) is used. The DE algorithm is a stochastic population based method, which has been demonstrated to be an effective and robust optimization method for some global optimization problems over continuous spaces. Results for a 3-RPRR manipulator are presented and compared with a similar non-redundant manipulator

A Family of Kinematically Redundant Planar Parallel Manipulators
Parallel manipulators feature relatively high payload and accuracy capabilities compared to their serial counterparts. However, they suffer from small workspace and low maneuverability. Kinematic redundancy for parallel manipulators can improve both of these characteristics. This paper presents a family of new kinematically redundant planar parallel manipulators with six actuated-joint degrees ...

In this work, the 3-RPRR, a new kinematically redundant planar parallel manipulator with six degrees of freedom, is presented. First the manipulator is introduced and its inverse displacement problem discussed. Then, all types of the singularities of the 3-RPRR manipulator are analysed and demonstrated. Thereafter, the reachable and dexterous workspaces are obtained and compared with those of t...
متن کاملSingularity analysis of a 3-PRRR kinematically redundant planar parallel manipulator
Finding Singular configurations (singularities) is one of the mandatory steps during the design and control of mechanisms. Because, in these configurations, the instantaneous kinematics is locally undetermined that causes serious problems both to static behavior and to motion control of the mechanism. This paper addresses the problem of determining singularities of a 3-PRRR kinematically redund...
متن کاملInterval 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 کاملA global approach for using kinematic redundancy to minimize base reactions of manipulators
e An important consideration in the use of manipulators in Microgravity environments is the minimization of the base reactions, i.e. the magnitude of the force and the moment exerted by the manipulator on its base as it peflonns its tasks. One approach which has been proposed and implemented is to use the redundant degrees of freedom in a kinematically redundant manipulator to plan manipulator ...
