Force-Guided Assemblies Using a Novel Parallel Manipulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present recent experimental results using a novel parallel manipulator operating under Natural Admittance Control performing difficult mechanical assemblies. The example assemblies are components from an automotive automatic transmission. Success depends on appropriate force responsiveness, rather than precise position control. The robotic assemblies are shown to be gentler than human assemblies while competitive with human assembly rates. The results show the potential for robotic automation in application areas that are currently limited to manual assembly.

Forward Position Kinematics of a Parallel Manipulator with New Architecture
The forward position kinematics (FPK) of a parallel manipulator with new architecture supposed to be used as a moving mechanism in a flight simulator project is discussed in this paper. The closed form solution for the FPK problem of the manipulator is first determined. It has, then, been shown that there are at most 24 solutions for FPK problem. This result has been verified by using other tec...
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 کاملKinematic Hybrid Position/Force Control
The paper aims to describe kinematic hybrid position/force control for a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) in-parallel actuated manipulator, and its application to peg-inhole task about 10μm clearance. The control system consists of a low-level position servo driven by force feedback in base coordinates. The computation required for the control is only inverse kinematics, which is very simple for...

Singularity is an inherent characteristic of a closed-chain manipulator. This paper presents an approach to singularity analysis of the planar 3-RRR parallel manipulator. On the basis of screw theory, the motion/force transmission analysis of the manipulator is first achieved. The singularity is classified into three types: constraint singularity, input transmission singularity, and output tran...
