This paper analyses the workspace of the three-revolute orthogonal manipulators that have at least one of their DH parameters equal to zero. These manipulators are classified into different groups with similar kinematic properties. The classification criteria are based on the topology of the workspace. Each group is evaluated according to interesting kinematic properties such as the size of the...

In this paper, the problem of the kinematics and dynamics of two constructional conceptions of a twowheeled mobile robot is considered. The wheeled mobile robot subjected to nonholonomic constraints moves over the inclined plane. Its trajectory consisting of the straight line and the curvilinear path described by the sinusoidal function is analyzed. The kinematic equations for arbitrarily chose...

In this report, we present the analysis of a 6 DOF robot end-effector built to study telerobotic assembly of NASA hardwares in space. Since the end-efector is required to perform high precision motion in a limited workspace, closed-kinematic chain mechanism is chosen for its design. A closed-form solution is obtained for the inverse kinematic problem and an itemtive pmedure employing Newton-Rap...

in this paper, first a great number of inverse problems which arise in instrumentation, in computer imaging systems and in computer vision are presented. then a common general forward modeling for them is given and the corresponding inversion problem is presented. then, after showing the inadequacy of the classical analytical and least square methods for these ill posed inverse problems, a baye...

We present a novel algorithm to estimate robot kinematic manifolds incrementally. We relate manifold learning with the forward and inverse kinematic of robots. The learned structure encodes this functions and so it is possible to recover them from the manifold. Our algorithm works without any knowledge of the robot kinematics and can potentially work in highly-dimensional spaces. We present som...

This paper presents design and kinematic analysis for a cable-driven parallel robotic (CDPR) manipulator with four cables, The CDPR manipulator produces a planar motion including two translational and one rotational degrees of freedom. To move the end-effector of CDPR, its kinematic structure is analyzed and the inverse kinematics is formulated in the closed-form solution. The experimental test...

This paper will provide the kinematic and dynamic analysis of a lower limb exoskeleton. The forward and inverse kinematics of proposed exoskeleton is performed using Denevit and Hartenberg method. The torques required for the actuators will be calculated using Lagrangian formulation technique. This research can be used to design the control of the proposed exoskeleton. Keywords—Dynamic Analysis...

Abstract: This paper is aimed in presenting a study on the kinematic modeling of the Tricept based five-axis vertical machine tool. Since the machine comprises 3-DOF parallel structure and 2-DOF serial wrist kinematic modeling also comprises serial and parallel part. As solution of direct and inverse kinematics of 2-DOF serial wrist is well known the study in this paper will focus on the parall...

This paper presents a method of determining the tool motion of a five-axis machine. The method is motivated by the imprint point method, where points on the machined surface are computed based on the tool position and tool motion. While simple linear motion can be used as a coarse approximation to this motion, this paper looks at more accurate models of tool motion based on machine kinematics t...
