Development of multi-limb robot with omnidirectional manipulability and mobility

چکیده
In order to develop a high performance working robot, we designed and developed a new robot based on the concept of "Limb Mechanism" for integration of legged locomotion and arm manipulation. The developed robot has six limbs which can be used for both locomotion and manipulation. Six limbs are set on vertices of regular hexagonal body so that this robot can have ominidirectional manipulability and mobility. We evaluated the stroke and the stability margin in all walking directions on six-legged and four-legged locomotion. As a result, this robot has higher omnidirectinal mobility than conventional mechanisms.

Path Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
متن کاملForce and dynamic manipulability for cooperating robot systems
A theory of force and dynamic manipulability for general systems of multiple cooperating robot manipula-tors is developed. Manipulability analysis refers to the study of the performance of the system regarded as a mechanical transformer of inputs (forces and torques at actuated joints) into outputs (forces and torques exchanged with the environment or accelerations of a reference member), in re...
متن کاملDesign, Development, and Mobility Test of an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot for Rough Terrain
Omnidirectional vehicles have been developed and widely applied in several areas, but most of them are designed for the case of motion on flat, smooth terrain, and are not feasible for outdoor usage. This paper presents an omnidirectional mobile robot that possesses high mobility in rough terrain. The omnidirectional robot employs four sets of modules called active split offset caster (ASOC). T...
متن کاملA Theorem on the Manipulability of Redundant Serial Kinematic Chains
concept of 'manipulability' is particularly important to characterize the ability of a serial kinematic chain – artificial manipulator or natural limb – to move quickly its end-effector in any direction of its operational space in response to given joint velocities. Yoshikawa's manipulability definition has shown its benefit for robotics. According to him the robot manipulability can be measure...
