A Complete Method for Workspace Boundary Determination
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a new method for workspace boundary determination on general lower-pair multi-body systems. The method uses a branch-and-prune technique to isolate the set of end effector singularities, and then classifies the points in such set according to whether they correspond to actual motion impediments in the workspace. The method can deal with openor closed-chain systems, and is able to take joint limits into account. Advantages over other methods of similar applicability include its completeness and a simpler algorithmic structure. Examples are included that show its performance on benchmark problems documented in the literature.

Workspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
متن کاملDetermination of the Wrench-closure Workspace of 6-dof Parallel Cable-driven Mechanisms
The wrench-closure workspace of parallel cable-driven mechanisms is the set of poses of their mobile platform for which the cables can balance any external wrench. The determination of this workspace is an important issue since the cables can only pull and not push on the mobile platform. This paper deals with the wrench-closure workspace of six-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) parallel mechanisms driv...
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 کاملSingularity Representation and Workspace Determination of a Special Class of the Gough-Stewart Platforms
The closed-loop nature of the Gough-Stewart platform generates complex singular configurations inside the workspace and makes its workspace smaller compared to the serial mechanism. It is desirable to obtain a non-singular workspace based on describing the constraint workspace and representing the singularities inside the constraint workspace. Some algorithms have been proposed by researchers t...
متن کاملUnderstanding Voids in the Workspace of Serial Robot Manipulators
Analytical methods for identifying the boundary to the workspace of mechanical manipulators and the boundary to voids in the workspace are presented. The determination of parametric equations of surface patches that envelop the workspace of serial manipulators was presented elsewhere and is extended in this paper to an analytical method for void identification. Because of the ability to identif...
