  • Mobile Robot Kinematics
    Mobile Robot Kinematics We're going to start talking about our mobile robots now. There robots differ from our arms in 2 ways: They have sensors, and they can move themselves around. Because their movement is so different from the arms, we will need to talk about a new style of kinematics: Differential Drive. 1. Differential Drive is how many mobile wheeled robots locomote. 2. Differential Drive robot typically have two powered wheels, one on each side of the robot. Sometimes there are other passive wheels that keep the robot from tipping over. 3. When both wheels turn at the same speed in the same direction, the robot moves straight in that direction. 4. When one wheel turns faster than the other, the robot turns in an arc toward the slower wheel. 5. When the wheels turn in opposite directions, the robot turns in place. 6. We can formally describe the robot behavior as follows: (a) If the robot is moving in a curve, there is a center of that curve at that moment, known as the Instantaneous Center of Curvature (or ICC). We talk about the instantaneous center, because we'll analyze this at each instant- the curve may, and probably will, change in the next moment. (b) If r is the radius of the curve (measured to the middle of the robot) and l is the distance between the wheels, then the rate of rotation (!) around the ICC is related to the velocity of the wheels by: l !(r + ) = v 2 r l !(r − ) = v 2 l Why? The angular velocity is defined as the positional velocity divided by the radius: dθ V = dt r 1 This should make some intuitive sense: the farther you are from the center of rotation, the faster you need to move to get the same angular velocity.

  • Randomized Path Planning for Redundant Manipulators Without Inverse Kinematics
    Randomized Path Planning for Redundant Manipulators without Inverse Kinematics Mike Vande Weghe Dave Ferguson, Siddhartha S. Srinivasa Institute for Complex Engineered Systems Intel Research Pittsburgh Carnegie Mellon University 4720 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Pittsburgh, PA 15213 [email protected] {dave.ferguson, siddhartha.srinivasa}@intel.com Abstract— We present a sampling-based path planning al- gorithm capable of efficiently generating solutions for high- dimensional manipulation problems involving challenging inverse kinematics and complex obstacles. Our algorithm extends the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm to cope with goals that are specified in a subspace of the manipulator configuration space through which the search tree is being grown. Underspecified goals occur naturally in arm planning, where the final end effector position is crucial but the configuration of the rest of the arm is not. To achieve this, the algorithm bootstraps an optimal local controller based on the transpose of the Jacobian to a global RRT search. The resulting approach, known as Jacobian Transpose-directed Rapidly Exploring Random Trees (JT-RRTs), is able to combine the configuration space exploration of RRTs with a workspace goal bias to produce direct paths through complex environments extremely efficiently, without the need for any inverse kinematics. We compare our algorithm to a recently- developed competing approach and provide results from both simulation and a 7 degree-of-freedom robotic arm. I. INTRODUCTION Path planning for robotic systems operating in real envi- ronments is hard. Not only must such systems deal with the standard planning challenges of potentially high-dimensional and complex search spaces, but they must also cope with im- perfect information regarding their surroundings and perhaps Fig.

  • Creating and Running a Dynamic Analysis a Force Simulating The
    Creating and Running a Dynamic Analysis A force simulating the engine firing load (acting along the negative X-direction) will be added to the piston for a dynamic simulation. It will be more realistic if the force can be applied when the piston starts moving to the left (negative X-direction) and can be applied only for a selected short period. In order to do so, we will have to define measures that monitor the position of the piston for the firing load to be activated. Unfortunately, such a capability is not available in COSMOSMotion. Therefore, the force is simplified as a step function of 3 lbf along the negative X-direction applied for 0.1 seconds. The force will be defined as a point force at the center point of the end face of the piston, as shown in Figure 5-21. Before we add the force, we will turn off the angular velocity driver defined at the joint Revolute2 in the previous simulation. We will have to delete the simulation before we can make any changes to the From the browser, expand the Constraints branch, and then the Joints branch. Right click Revolute to bring up the Edit Mate-Defined Joint dialog box (Figure 5-22). Pull-down the Motion Type and choose Free. Click Apply to accept the change. Note that if you run a simulation now, nothing will happen since there is no motion driver or force defined (gravity has been turned off). Now we are ready to add the force. The force can be added from the browser by expanding the Forces branch, right clicking the Action Only node, and choosing Add Action-Only Force, as shown in Figure 5- 23.

  • A Review of Parallel Processing Approaches to Robot Kinematics and Jacobian
    Technical Report 10/97, University of Karlsruhe, Computer Science Department, ISSN 1432-7864 A Review of Parallel Processing Approaches to Robot Kinematics and Jacobian Dominik HENRICH, Joachim KARL und Heinz WÖRN Institute for Real-Time Computer Systems and Robotics University of Karlsruhe, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Due to continuously increasing demands in the area of advanced robot control, it became necessary to speed up the computation. One way to reduce the computation time is to distribute the computation onto several processing units. In this survey we present different approaches to parallel computation of robot kinematics and Jacobian. Thereby, we discuss both the forward and the reverse problem. We introduce a classification scheme and classify the references by this scheme. Keywords: parallel processing, Jacobian, robot kinematics, robot control. 1 Introduction Due to continuously increasing demands in the area of advanced robot control, it became necessary to speed up the computation. Since it should be possible to control the motion of a robot manipulator in real-time, it is necessary to reduce the computation time to less than the cycle rate of the control loop. One way to reduce the computation time is to distribute the computation over several processing units. There are other overviews and reviews on parallel processing approaches to robotic problems. Earlier overviews include [Lee89] and [Graham89]. Lee takes a closer look at parallel approaches in [Lee91]. He tries to find common features in the different problems of kinematics, dynamics and Jacobian computation. The latest summary is from Zomaya et al. [Zomaya96].

  • Arxiv:2102.12942V3 [Cs.RO] 30 Mar 2021 Drawback of These Strategies Is That They Are Extremely Sensitive to Inaccuracies in the Model
    Structured Prediction for CRiSP Inverse Kinematics Learning with Misspecified Robot Models Gian Maria Marconi∗,1,2 Raffaello Camoriano∗,2 Lorenzo Rosasco2,3,4 Carlo Ciliberto5 [email protected] raff[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract With the recent advances in machine learning, problems that traditionally would require accurate modeling to be solved analytically can now be successfully approached with data-driven strategies. Among these, computing the inverse kinematics of a redundant robot arm poses a significant challenge due to the non-linear structure of the robot, the hard joint constraints and the non-invertible kinematics map. Moreover, most learning algorithms consider a completely data-driven approach, while often useful information on the structure of the robot is available and should be positively exploited. In this work, we present a simple, yet effective, approach for learning the inverse kinematics. We introduce a structured prediction algorithm that combines a data-driven strategy with the model provided by a forward kinematics function – even when this function is misspecified – to accurately solve the problem. The proposed approach ensures that predicted joint configurations are well within the robot’s constraints. We also provide statistical guarantees on the generalization properties of our estimator as well as an empirical evaluation of its performance on trajectory reconstruction tasks. 1 Introduction Computing the inverse kinematics of a robot is a well-known key problem in several applications requiring robot control [20]. This task consists in finding a set of joint configurations that would result in a given pose of the end effector, and is traditionally solved by assuming access to an accurate model of the robot and employing geometric or numerical optimization techniques.

  • A Closed-Form Solution for the Inverse Kinematics of the 2N-DOF Hyper-Redundant Manipulator Based on General Spherical Joint
    applied sciences Article A Closed-Form Solution for the Inverse Kinematics of the 2n-DOF Hyper-Redundant Manipulator Based on General Spherical Joint Ya’nan Lou , Pengkun Quan, Haoyu Lin, Dongbo Wei and Shichun Di * School of Mechatronics Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China; [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (P.Q.); [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (D.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-1390-4605-946 Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form inverse kinematics solution for the 2n-degree of freedom (DOF) hyper-redundant serial manipulator with n identical universal joints (UJs). The proposed algorithm is based on a novel concept named as general spherical joint (GSJ). In this work, these universal joints are modeled as general spherical joints through introducing a virtual revolution between two adjacent universal joints. This virtual revolution acts as the third revolute DOF of the general spherical joint. Remarkably, the proposed general spherical joint can also realize the decoupling of position and orientation just as the spherical wrist. Further, based on this, the universal joint angles can be solved if all of the positions of the general spherical joints are known. The position of a general spherical joint can be determined by using three distances between this unknown general spherical joint and another three known ones. Finally, a closed-form solution for the whole manipulator is solved by applying the inverse kinematics of single general spherical joint section using these positions. Simulations are developed to verify the validity of the proposed closed-form inverse kinematics model.
