Abstract:

This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inverse and the forward kinematics problems, workspace determination, singularity, and kinematic sensitivity analysis. The workspace of the parallel part of the mechanism is obtained by interval analysis. Moreover, using elimination theory, a univariate expression representing the forward kinematics solution of the parallel part is obtained.

Inverse Kinematic/Dynamic Analysis of a New 4-DOF Hybrid (Serial-Parallel) Pole Climbing Robot Manipulator

This paper studies inverse kinematics and dynamics of a new 4-DOF hybrid (serial-parallel) manipulator. This kind of hybrid manipulator is specially designed for pole/column climbing applications with spatially bent and branching poles/columns. The proposed hybrid manipulator consists of a one-DOF rotary mechanism in series with a 3-DOF planar 3-R PR parallel mechanism. This combination provide...

A Novel 4-DOF Parallel Manipulator And Its Kinematic Modelling

In this paper, a novel four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) hybrid parallel platform manipulator is presented. The movable platform of the parallel manipulator can translate along two directions and rotate around two axes respectively. The kinematics model is formulated, which describes the inverse kinematic transformation and forward kinematic transformation. A 5-axis parallel machine tool based on ...

Optimal Kinematic Design of a 2-DOF Planar Parallel Manipulator

Closed-form solutions were developed to optimize kinematics design of a 2-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) planar parallel manipulator. The optimum design based on the workspace was presented. Meanwhile, a global, comprehensive conditioning index was introduced to evaluate the kinematic designs. The optimal parallel manipulator is incorporated into a 5-DOF hybrid machine tool which includes a 2-DOF rot...

Kinematic Analysis And Optimization Of Multi Dof Parallel Manipulator

The role of robotics in society is no longer restricted to assembly and manufacturing. Robots are finding their way into –a wide spectrum of tasks that directly link human and machine. Due to the modelling error or environmental uncertainties, robot motion may present a significant positioning error by using a conventional Computer-Torque Method. To improve tracking capability of robot manipula...

Kinematic analysis and design of a six DOF 3-PRPS in-parallel manipulator

This paper presents a kinematic analysis and design characteristics of an in-parallel manipulator developed for the probing task application that requires high precision, active compliance, and high control bandwidth. The developed manipulator is a class of six-degree-of-freedom in-parallel platforms with 3 PRPS (prismatic-revolute-prismatic-spherical joints) chain geometry. The main advantages...
