Optimal Design of a 6-DOF 4-4 Parallel Manipulator with Uncoupled Singularities
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 6-DOF 4-4 parallel manipulator is presented. Its forward kinematics can be solved by a sequence of three trilaterations and, as a consequence, its singularities can be described in geometric terms as the degeneration of three tetrahedra. Moreover, it is shown how the proposed manipulator belongs to the family of flagged parallel manipulators. This identification is useful because the topology of the singularity locus of flagged manipulators have been fully characterized and, what is more important, the singularities of flagged manipulators correspond to uncoupled translations and/or rotations in the workspace of the manipulator. An optimization of its workspace is carried out using Sequential Quadratic Programming and a virtual prototype of the optimal result have been implemented in SolidWorksTM.

متن کاملThe Kinematic design of a 3-dof Hybrid Manipulator
This paper focuses on the kinematic properties of a new three-degree-of-freedom hybrid manipulator. This manipulator is obtained by adding in series to a five-bar planar mechanism (similar to the one studied by Bajpai and Roth [1]) a third revolute passing through the line of centers of the two actuated revolute joints of the above linkage (Figures 2 & 3). The resulting architecture is hybrid i...

In this paper, an ANFIS+PID hybrid control policy has been addressed to control a 6-degree-of freedom (6-DOF) robotic manipulator. Then its error convergence has been also evaluated. The ability to formulate and estimate the system uncertainties and disturbances along with system dynamics and rejecting the disturbances effect are some advantages of the proposed method in comparing with the co...

This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of Tricept parallel manipulator. Observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. The effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...
