Designing a Parallel Manipulator for a Specific Workspace

نویسنده

  • Jean-Pierre Merlet
چکیده

We present an algorithm to determine all the possible geometries of Gough-type 6 d.o.f. parallel manipulators whose workspace has to include a desired workspace. This desired workspace is described as a set of geometric objects, limited here to points and segments, which describe the desired locations of the center of the moving platform. It is assumed that the orientation of the platform is fixed for each given object. This algorithm takes into account the leg length limits, the mechanical limits on the passive joints and interference between links.

Interval Analysis of Controllable Workspace for Cable Robots

Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. ‎However, ‎the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

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...

Dexterous Workspace Shape and Size Optimization of Tricept Parallel Manipulator

This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of Tricept parallel manipulator. Observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. The effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...
