Kinematically Redundant Parallel Haptic Device with Large Workspace Regular Paper
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a kinematically redundant parallel haptic device with large workspace is presented. The haptic device has a similar kinematic structure to the well‐ known Delta manipulator. However, it has a special arrangement of actuators and one redundant actuator added to the third leg. The proposed haptic device has essentially 4‐DOF, however, only three translational DOF are used for 3‐DOF positioning and force reflection, and one rotational DOF by the redundant actuator is used to increase well‐conditioned workspace. If the redundant actuator’s angle is controlled to follow x and y position, the haptic device has a large cylindrical workspace and can maintain good kinematic and statics performance over the whole workspace. The kinematics and workspace are analysed, and the optimal design method of finding minimum link lengths to satisfy prescribed workspace is presented. Finally, the prototype haptic device and control experiment result are presented.

Interval Analysis of Controllable Workspace for Cable Robots
Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. However, the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...
متن کاملSingularity-Free Algorithms and Design Scheme for a New 6-DOF Parallel Haptic Device
It is known that parallel-type mechanisms have many singularities than serial-type mechanisms. In haptic application, these singularities deteriorate the system performance generating reflecting force. Moreover, different from general manipulators, haptic systems can’t avoid the singular point, because they are operated by user’s random command. Although many singularity-free algorithms for ser...
متن کاملTowards a Hyper-Redundant Haptic Display
This paper discusses how to utilise the known advantages of redundancy in the design of haptic interfaces. The use of additional joints allows a significantly larger workspace, while reducing the overall device size. Moreover, an increase in a variety of dexterity measures and a singularity robust redundancy resolution can be achieved. Besides a review of standard redundant kinematical designs ...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Haptic Device Design for Large and Fast Movements
Haptic devices tend to be kept small as it is easier to achieve a large change of stiffness with a low associated apparent mass. If large movements are required there is a usually a reduction in the quality of the haptic sensations which can be displayed. The typical measure of haptic device performance is impedance-width (z-width) but this does not account for actuator saturation, usable works...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of X-y-θ Positioning Stage Based on Redundant Parallel Linkage
This paper presents the concept of a planar positioning stage based on a kinematically redundant parallel linkage. Basic kinematics and workspace analysis of base redundant manipulator is initially explained and the procedure of static analysis to predict the actuated joint torques is described. As there are six actuators in the linkage, the redundancy can be overcome by proper selection of the...
