چکیده

The paper presents an a ordable and comprehensive robotic model of critical aid to any engineering school involved in teaching robotics. We present the stages of designing a three-link robot manipulator prototype that was built as part of a research project for establishing a prototyping environment for robot manipulators. Building this robot helped determine the required subsystems and interfaces for building the prototyping environment, and provided hands-on experience for real problems and diÆculties that are addressed and solved using this environment. The robot is now successfully used as an educational tool in robotics and control classes.

QFT Control of a Two-Link Rigid-Flexible Manipulator

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...

Modeling Flexibility Effects in Robotic Arms Via the Modified 4x4 D-H Homogeneous Transformation

This paper presents a method for the kinematical modeling of robot manipulator arms with flexible members. Development of such techniques are important for the improvement of robotic arms precision performance and their mechanical design. The approach employs the (4X4) Denavit-Hartenberg homogeneous transformations to describe the kinematics of light weight flexible manipulator arms. The method...

Dynamic analysis of a three-degrees-of-freedom in-parallel actuated manipulator

Despite the voluminous publications on robot dynamics and control, the literature to date is based solely on the serial link manipulators. Little attention has been given to the alternative manipulator design based on the concept of in-parallel actuated mechanism, which is characterized by its excellent rigidity, high strength-to-moving-weight ratio, and relatively simple inverse kinematics. Th...

Dynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace

The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...

Boundary Feedback Stabilization of a Nonlinear Flexible Gantry Manipulator Using Disturbance Observer

This paper aims to develop a boundary control solution for a single-link gantry robot manipulator with one axis of rotation. The control procedure is considered with link’s transverse vibrations while system undergoes rigid body nonlinear large rotation and translation. Initially, based on Hamilton principle, governing equations of hybrid motions as a set of partial differential equations...
