Design, modeling, manufacturing and experimental analysis of a six degree freedom robot, suitable for industrial applications, has been described in this paper. The robot was designed on the assumption that, each joint has an independent DC motor actuator, with gear reduction and measuring sensor for angular joint position. Mechanical design of the robot was done using Mechanical Desktop and ma...

In this paper, sliding mode tracking control and its chattering suppression method are investigated for flexible-joint robot manipulators with only state measurements of joint actuators. First, within the framework singular perturbation theory, objective system is decoupled into two typical aims a slow subsystem fast subsystem. Then, considering lumped uncertainties (including dynamics external...

Industrial robot manipulators are general-purpose machines used for industrial automation in order to increase productivity, flexibility, and product quality. Other reasons for using industrial robots are cost saving, and elimination of hazardous and unpleasant work. Robot motion control is a key competence for robot manufacturers, and the current development is focused on increasing the robot ...

The process of controlling a Flexible Joint Robot Manipulator (FJRM) requires additional sensors for measuring the state variables flexible joints. Therefore, taking elasticity into account adds lot complexity as all must be taken during control process. This paper proposes nonlinear observer that controls FJRM, without requiring equipment states. equations are derived in detail FJRM where nonl...

Space robots are an effective resource for astronauts working in a dangerous space environment. This paper proposes and implements a system to validate the performance of robot movement in space. A humanoid robot was designed with a vision-based self-calibration and navigation system. In addition, a path planning method was proposed to minimize joint torque. Simple gravity-compensation equipmen...

Modelling and identification of flexible-joint robots is required for dynamic simulation and model based control of industrial robots. A nonlinear finite element based method is used to derive the dynamic equations of motion in a form suitable for both simulation and identification. The latter requires that the equations of motion are linear in the dynamic parameters. For accurate simulations o...

An industrial robot today uses measurements of its joint positions and models of its kinematics and dynamics to estimate and control its end-effector position. Substantially better end-effector position estimation and control performance would be obtainable if direct measurements of its end-effector position were also used. The subject of this paper is extended Kalman filtering for precise esti...

Todays, use of combination of two or more methods was considered to control of systems. In this paper ispresented how to design of a nonlinear H∞ (NL-H∞) controller for flexible joint robot (FJR) based on boundedUKF state estimator. The UKF has more advantages to standard EKF such as low bios and no need toderivations. In this research, based on spong primary model for FJRs, same as rigid robot...

This paper presents the effects of intermediate location and time-varying end mass on the dynamic response of flexible robot manipulator with rotating-prismatic joint in tracing multi-straight-line path. The tip end of the flexible robot manipulator traces a multi-straight-line path under the action of external driving torque and axial force. Flexible arm which consist of a rotating-prismatic j...
