Design and Implementation of a New Discretely-Actuated Manipulator

چکیده
This paper presents a new 3-D design of a discretely-actuated robot manipulator powered by binary actuators. Binary actuators have two stable states, which are, for example, closed (0) and open (1). Major benefits of this kind of discretely-actuated manipulator are repeatability, relatively low cost, and no need for feedback control. In addition, hyper-redundancy allows tasks to be performed even when some actuators fail. A prototype of the new 3-D design is presented in this paper.

Numerical convolution on the Euclidean group with applications to workspace generation
In this work, the concept of a convolution product of real-valued functions on the Special Euclidean group, SE(D) (which describes all rigid body motions in D-dimensional Euclidean space), is applied to the determination of workspaces of discretely actuated manipulators. These manipulators have a finite number of joint states. If a discretely actuated manipulator consists of P actuated modules,...
متن کاملRobust Fractional Order Control of Under-actuated Electromechanical System
This paper presents a robust fractional order controller for flexible-joint electrically driven robots under imperfect transformation of control space. The proposed approach is free from manipulator dynamics, thus free from problems associated with torque control strategy in the design and implementation. As a result, the proposed controller is simple, fast response and superior to the torque c...

متن کاملObstacle Avoidance of Redundant Discretely-actuated Manipulators Using Workspace Density Functions
This paper presents an obstacle avoidance method for discretely-actuated planar manipulators with a large number of serially connected modules. The method uses a direct combination of the manipulator workspace density functions and obstacle density maps to solve the inverse kinematics of the manipulator, thus avoiding the geometrical modelling of obstacles and the computation of the nearest poi...
متن کاملA New Inverse Kinematic Algorithm for Discretely Actuated Hyper-redundant Manipulators
The term discretely actuated hyperredundant manipulator is applied to a kind of manipulators which consists of serially connected modules. Such modules are composed of discretely actuated joints having finite stable states. Since the previous studies have rarely offered satisfactory results regarding the problem of inverse kinematics of discretely actuated hyper-redundant manipulators, the pres...
