چکیده
This work proposed a new method for a gravity compensation using the noncircular pulley, cable driving, and spring balancer. The noncircular pulley is arranged in the front of one transmission chain. When the mechanism apply this method for the gravity compensation of some multi-DOF and multilink manipulator, it can be achieved that a perfect gravity balance and less number of springs. To obtain the parameter and arrangement of the spring and transmission, the potential energy related to the transmission structure is discussed. Based on the invariance of all the potential energy of a static balance mechanism, some design rules and cases are presented to get the transmission function. In this study, the synthesis of the noncircular pulley is demonstrated according to the established transmission function. At last, the example of gravity compensation for two-DOF yaw-pitch mechanism is presented.

Design of an Articulated Robotic Leg with Nonlinear Series Elastic Actuation
An articulated leg for the use in a running robot is presented. It is driven by series elastic actuation with a highly compliant spring at the knee joint to exploit periodic energy storage and passively support a running motion. The spring is connected with the knee motor by a cable pulley system, which allows the advantageous placement of the motor in the hip joint and enables us to use a comp...
متن کاملA Novel Position Compensation Scheme for Cable-Pulley Mechanisms Used in Laparoscopic Surgical Robots
The tendon driven mechanism using a cable and pulley to transmit power is adopted by many surgical robots. However, backlash hysteresis objectively exists in cable-pulley mechanisms, and this nonlinear problem is a great challenge in precise position control during the surgical procedure. Previous studies mainly focused on the transmission characteristics of the cable-driven system and construc...
متن کاملMechanical System Modelling of Robot Dynamics Using a Mass/Pulley Model
The well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. A new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (MP) is shown to simulat...

This research identifies an eleven degree of freedom dynamic model of MABEL, a new robot for the study of bipedal walking and running. Model parameters are identified on the basis of fourteen angles measured by encoders and the commanded torque of the robot’s four independent actuators. The identification process is modular and begins with the cable-driven transmission mechanism of the robot. B...
