چکیده

The present paper introduces a mobile parallel robot developed for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). he task of the robot is to carry out welding and machining processes inside the ITER vacuum vessel. The kinematic design f the robot has been optimized for the ITER access. The kinematic analysis is given in the paper. A virtual prototype of the arallel robot is built. A dynamic behavior of the whole robot is studied by the multi-body system simulation (MBS). 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Optimal Trajectory Planning of a Mobile Robot with Spatial Manipulator For Spatial Obstacle Avoidance

Mobile robots that consist of a mobile platform with one or many manipulators mounted on it are of great interest in a number of applications. Combination of platform and manipulator causes robot operates in extended work space. The analysis of these systems includes kinematics redundancy that makes more complicated problem. However, it gives more feasibility to robotic systems because of the e...

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

Kinematic Synthesis of Parallel Manipulator via Neural Network Approach

In this research, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used as a powerful tool to solve the inverse kinematic equations of a parallel robot. For this purpose, we have developed the kinematic equations of a Tricept parallel kinematic mechanism with two rotational and one translational degrees of freedom (DoF). Using the analytical method, the inverse kinematic equations are solved for spe...

A Novel Multimode Mobile Robot with Adaptable Wheel Geometry for Maneuverability Improvement

In this paper, an innovative mobile platform is presented which is equipped by three new wheels. The core of the new idea is to establish a new design of rigid circular structure which can be implemented as a wheel by variable radius. The structure of wheel includes a circular pattern of a simple two-link mechanism assembled to obtain a wheel shape. Each wheel has two degrees of freedom. The fi...
