Placement of Robot Manipulators to Maximize Dexterity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Placement of robotics manipulators involves the specification of the position and orientation of the base with respect to a predefined work environment. A general approach to the placement of manipulators based on the kinematic dexterity of mechanisms is presented. In many robotic implementations, it is necessary to carefully plan the layout of the workplace, whether on the manufacturing floor or in robot-assisted surgical interventions, whereby it is required to locate the robot base in such a way to maximize dexterity at or around given targets. In this paper, we pose the problem in an optimization form without the utilization of an inverse kinematics algorithm, but rather by employing a dexterity measure. A new dexterous performance measure is developed and used to characterize a formulation for moving the workspace envelope (and hence the robot base) to a new position and orientation. Using this dexterous measure, numerical techniques for placement of the robot and based on a method for determining the exact boundary to the workspace are presented and implemented in computer code. Examples are given to illustrate the techniques developed using planar and spatial serial manipulators.

Exterity of Underactuated Manipulators
The dexterity of a manipulator with passive joints, also known as an underactuated manipulator, differs from the dexterity of a fully actuated one, even if their mechanical structures are identical. Therefore, for fault tolerance and energy saving purposes, it is important to study the dexterity of underactuated manipulators. The purpose of this work is to quantify the dexterity of underactuate...

Parallel manipulators have separate serial kinematic chains that are linked to the ground and the moving platform at the same time. They have some potential advantages over serial robot manipulators such as high accuracy, greater load capacity, high mechanical rigidity, high velocity and acceleration (Kang et al., 2001; Kang & Mills, 2001). Planar Parallel Manipulators (PPMs), performing two tr...

In this paper, three translational parallel manipulators, i.e., the RAF, the 3UPU and the Delta, are analyzed for dexterity and workspace. First, the geometric models for these three robots were investigated to determine their respective workspaces. The kinematic models are also derived to calculate the global dexterity of each robot. A multi-objective optimization, where the global dexterity i...
