Descriptive Geometric Kinematic Analysis of Clavel’s “Delta” Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
Certain high speed industrial assembly robots share a peculiar three legged parallel architecture wherein three “hips”, attached to a fixed upper base or “pelvis”, actuate “thighs” connected by “knees” to “shins”. Each shin is a parallelogramic four-bar linkage. “Ankles” are connected to a common end effector “foot” which executes spatial translatory motion. Inverse and direct kinematic analyses of such manipulators have simple geometric solutions reducable to intersection of line and sphere. Computation is carried out efficiently in a common fixed reference frame.

An Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...
متن کاملKinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot
As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...
متن کاملGeometric and Kinematic Performance Analysis and Comparison of Three Translational Parallel Manipulators
In this paper, three translational parallel manipulators, i.e., the RAF, the 3UPU and the Delta, are analyzed for dexterity and workspace. First, the geometric models for these three robots were investigated to determine their respective workspaces. The kinematic models are also derived to calculate the global dexterity of each robot. A multi-objective optimization, where the global dexterity i...
متن کاملA Fully Geometric Approach for the Workspace Area of the Gantry-tau Parallel Kinematic Manipulator
One of the main advantages of the Gantry-Tau machine is a large accessible workspace/footprint ratio compared to many other parallel machines. The design presented in this paper achieves a workspace/footprint ratio of more than 2.7 with fixed length links, which is high for a PKM. Typical PKMs, for example the Delta robot, has a ratio less than one. Optimisation schemes are typically used in or...

Some iterative matrix relations for the geometric, kinematic and dynamic analysis of a Delta parallel robot are established in this paper. The prototype of this manipulator is a three degree of freedom spatial mechanism, which consists of a system of parallel chains. Supposing that the position and the translation motion of the platform are known, an inverse dynamic problem is solved using the ...
