Using ADAMS to Model Cable Driven Hyper-Redundant Flexible Manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines the current state of the virtual prototyping program using ADAMS under development at GreyPilgrim Incorporated. This program is being developed in order to provide analysis in the mechanical design of cable driven hyperredundant flexible manipulators, referred to as EMMAs (Easily Manipulated Mechanical Arms). A diagram of a typical EMMA manipulator can be seen in Figure 1 below.

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 کاملStability Analysis and Robust PID Control of Cable Driven Robots Considering Elasticity in Cables
In this paper robust PID control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. In dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. To develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust PID control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...
متن کاملCONTROL OF FLEXIBLE JOINT ROBOT MANIPULATORS BY COMPENSATING FLEXIBILITY
A flexible-joint robot manipulator is a complex system because it is nonlinear, multivariable, highly coupled along with joint flexibility and uncertainty. To overcome flexibility, several methods have been proposed based on flexible model. This paper presents a novel method for controlling flexible-joint robot manipulators. A novel control law is presented by compensating flexibility to form a...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis and Control of Cable Driven Robots with Elastic Cables
In this paper modeling and control of cable driven redundant parallel manipulators with flexible cables, are studied in detail. Based on new results, in fully constrained cable robots, cables can be modeled as axial linear springs. Considering this assumption the system dynamics formulation is developed using Lagrange approach. Since in this class of robots, all the cables should remain in tens...
متن کاملAnalysis and Optimization of Actuator Forces in Hybrid Cable-driven Manipulators
This study discusses the force analysis of hybrid cable driven manipulators having both cables and rigid links with actuators installed on both of them. It is desired to operate the manipulator with minimum actuation forces to minimize cable elongation and reduce the operational cost. A minimization procedure is discussed here based on Dykstra’s algorithm to minimize the 2-norm of the actuators...
