Genericity Conditions for Serial Manipulators
نویسنده
چکیده
A generic, or more properly 1-generic, serial manipulator is one whose forward kinematic mapping exhibits singularities of given rank in a regular way. In this paper, the product-ofexponentials formulation of a kinematic mapping together with the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula for Lie groups is used to derive an algebraic condition for the regularity.

Robustness Study of Generic and Non-Generic 3R Positioning Manipulators
This paper presents a robustness study of 3R manipulators and aims at answering the following question: are generic manipulators more robust than their non-generic counterparts? We exploit several properties specific to 3R manipulators such as singularities, cuspidality, homotopy classes, and path feasibility, in order to find some correlations between genericity and robustness concepts. It tur...
متن کاملA Geometric Approach to the Design of Serial and Parallel Manipulators with Passive Joints
The use of robotic manipulators in remote and sensitive areas calls for more robust solutions when handling joint failure, and the industry demands mathematically robust approaches to handle even the worst case scenarios. For both serial and parallel manipulators torque failure is indeed a worst case scenario. Thus, a systematic analysis of the effects of external forces on manipulators with pa...
متن کاملNear-Minimum-Time Motion Planning of Manipulators along Specified Path
The large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. Most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. In this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. The method, which can be used for both ...
متن کاملTopological Synthesis of Translational Parallel Manipulators
For translational parallel manipulators (TPMs), topology synthesis methods that can be found in the literature are mainly based on screw theory, instantaneous kinematics, or group theory. In this work, finite displacement equations are used for the topology synthesis of TPM. Serial chains with less than 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) are first investigated and, topological conditions for them to ge...
متن کاملOn the Manipulability of Velocity-constrained Serial Robotic Manipulators
Abstract: This paper presents a performance metric for the manipulability of constrained serial manipulators. The manipulability measure and manipulability ellipsoid are found from the manipulability Jacobian, which is easily found for serial manipulators as the standard Jacobian matrix, or for parallel manipulators as the Jacobian that gives the mapping from the active joint velocities to the ...
