Interactive-motion control of modular reconfigurable manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
─ A joystick-based interactive motion control approach is proposed for modular reconfigurable manipulators. Based on the product-of-exponentials (POE) formula, the velocity models as well as the incremental displacement models have been formulated for both serial manipulators (with arbitrary configurations and DOFs) and a class of three-legged parallel manipulators. As a result, two different control modes, i.e., the velocity control mode and the incremental displacement control mode, have been developed. A user-friendly GUI has also been developed, which can display the joystick input, the actual joint angles, and the end-effector pose simultaneously. The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated by a 6-DOF serial modular robot and a 6-DOF 3RPRS parallel robot.

The CMU Reconfigurable Modular Manipulator System
Modular manipulator designs have long been been considered for use as research tools, and as the basis for easily modified industrial manipulators. In these manipulators the links and joints are discrete and modular components that can be assembled into a desired manipulator configuration. As hardware advances have made actual modular manipulators practical, various capabilities of such manipul...

In this manuscript, we discuss new solutions for mechanical design and motion planning for a class of three-dimensional modular self-reconfigurable robotic system, namely I-Cubes. This system is a bipartite collection of active links that provide motions for self-reconfiguration, and cubes acting as connection points.

متن کاملDecentralized robust control of robot manipulators with harmonic drive transmission and application to modular and reconfigurable serial arms
In this paper, we propose a decentralized robust control algorithm for modular and reconfigurable robots (MRRs) based on Lyapunov’s stability analysis and backstepping techniques. In using decentralized control schemes with robot manipulators, each joint is considered as an independent subsystem, and the dynamical effects from the other links and joints are treated as disturbance. However, ther...
