A 5-Axis Mini Direct Drive Robot for Teleoperation and Biotechnology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A previously developed 3-axis mini direct drive robot has been enhanced with two additional direct drive axes for general positioning and orientation of an axially symmetric tool. The arm has a work volume of about 120 and 5-10 or better resolution and repeatability. The arm forms an initial prototype for the NASA/University of Washington MicroTrex flight telerobotics experiment. The contemplated terrestrial applications include handling submicroliter liquid samples for electrophoresis, and micro-manipulation with scaled force reflection.

متن کاملAdaptive Voltage-based Control of Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
متن کاملVoltage Control Strategy for Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Torque control strategy is a common strategy to control robotic manipulators. However, it becomes complex duo to manipulator dynamics. In addition, position control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) is a complicated control. Therefore, tracking control of robots driven by PMSMs is a challenging problem. This article presents a novel tracking control of electrically driven robots wh...
متن کاملTeleoperation Performance with a Kinematically Redundant Slave Robot
This paper studies the effects of three methods of kinematic redundancy resolution on teleoperation performance with a redundant slave robot in telemanipulation. First, we derived three kinematic redundancy control modes expressing different trade-offs between kinetic energy level, joint usage, and joint limit avoiding. To validate our algorithms we performed simulations, autonomous robot tests...
متن کاملMini - Teleoperation Technology for Space Research
A small direct drive serial manipulator has been developed for applications in sample handling for scientific payloads in space. The manipulator is about 15 cm in length, and has 5-10 microns positioning precision. The prototype forms the basis for design of the MicroTrex flight experiment for NASA. The experiment will measure performance of the robot in low earth orbit under control from a gro...
