Delta robot: inverse, direct, and intermediate Jacobians
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the context of a parallel manipulator, inverse and direct Jacobian matrices are known to contain information which helps us identify some of the singular configurations. In this article, we employ kinematic analysis for the Delta robot to derive the velocity of the end-effector in terms of the angular joint velocities, thus yielding the Jacobian matrices. Setting their determinants to zero, several undesirable postures of themanipulator have been extracted. The analysis of the inverse Jacobian matrix reveals that singularities are encountered when the limbs belonging to the same kinematic chain lie in a plane. Two of the possible configurations which correspond to this condition are when the robot is completely extended or contracted, indicating the boundaries of the workspace. Singularities associated with the direct Jacobian matrix, which correspond to relatively more complicated configurations of the manipulator, have also been derived and commented on. Moreover, the idea of intermediate Jacobian matrices have been introduced that are simpler to evaluate but still contain the information of the singularities mentioned earlier in addition to architectural singularities not contemplated in conventional Jacobians.

An Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...

Abstraet--Jacobians are used in robotics for motion planning and control. They are also used in algorithms that determine linkage parameter errors of robots and in algorithms that determine pair variable corrections for accurate motion. Most applications require that the inverse of the Jacobian be obtained. The causes of singularities in Jacobians and a procedure to detect their presence are gi...

متن کاملDynamic 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...
