Approximating Spatial Locations With Spherical Orientations for Spherical Mechanism Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a novel method for approximating a finite set of n spatial locations with n spherical orientations. This is accomplished by determining a design sphere and the associated orientations on this design sphere which are nearest the n spatial locations. The design sphere and the orientations on it are optimized such that the sum of the distances between each spatial location and its approximating spherical orientation is minimized. The result is a design sphere and n spherical orientations which best approximate a set of n spatial locations. In addition, we include a modification to the method which enables the designer to require that one of the n desired spatial locations be exactly preserved. This method for approximating spatial locations with spherical orientations is directly applicable to the synthesis of spherical mechanisms for motion generation. Here we demonstrate the utility of the method for motion generation task specification in spherical mechanism design. @S1050-0472~00!00204-X#

This paper uses the kinematic mapping into the image space of spherical displacements to design a cooperating spherical robot system for workpiece orientating. The kinematic chain formed b y the cooperating robots grasping the workpiece forms a multi degree of freedom closed chain which is also known as a robotic mechanism. The spherical robots considered are spherical RPR open chains and they ...

The objective of this research was to design and develope a Pick and Position system to displace spherical-shaped fruits, with minimum damage to flesh, from one specific place to another. A mechanical gripper (end-effector) suitable for grasping spherical-shaped fruits with 5-9 cm in diameter was designed and developed. The primary goal of the gripper design was to take and release the fruit wi...

متن کاملProjection Metrics for Rigid-body Displacements
An open research question is how to define a useful metric on SE(n) with respect to (1) the choice of coordinate frames and (2) the units used to measure linear and angular distances. We present two techniques for approximating elements of the special Euclidean group SE(n) with elements of the special orthogonal group SO(n+1). These techniques are based on the singular value and polar decomposi...
