This chapter presents an introduction to the parallel manipulators, a literature review of the related research and the objective of the thesis. 1.1 Introduction of Planar Parallel Robot This section of the chapter deals with the introduction of planar parallel robots, especially the 3-RPR planar parallel robots. Parallel manipulators are robots that consist of separate serial chains that connect the fixed link to the end-effector link. The planar parallel robots refer to the class of manipulators, which are planar and actuated in parallel. The 3-RPR as shown in Figure 1.1, refers to the three serial chains, each having three dof. Each of these serial chains has a revolute joint (referred to as "R"), a prismatic joint (referred to as "P") and again a revolute joint (referred to as "R") connected in the respective order. These three serial chains of the configuration RPR with three dof each connect the fixed link (a triangular base in this thesis) to the end effector link (a moving triangular link in this thesis). Now with this configuration, one joint per chain is actuated (the prismatic joint is actuated in this thesis) and the remaining two joints are passive. Figure 1.2 shows the 3-RPR hardware developed in this thesis. 2 Regarding the potential advantages of parallel robots over serial robots it is found that parallel robots have a better stiffness and accuracy as compared to serial robots. Parallel robots are lighter in weight as compared with serial robots. In spite of having lower weights, parallel robots have a greater load bearing capacity than serial robots. Parallel robots have higher velocities and accelerations, and less powerful actuators as compared with serial robots. The only major drawback of the parallel robots over serial robots is that parallel robots have a reduced workspace as compared with serial robots. Figure 1.1 3-RPR Diagram 3 Figure 1.2 3-RPR Hardware 1.2 Literature Review This section presents the literature review for this thesis. Topics such as parallel robots; especially the three-dof planar parallel robots will be discussed in terms of how other authors have proceeded. The prominent subtopics, which will be covered, are the pose kinematics, the velocity kinematics, the workspace analysis and the control implementation of planar parallel robots. Parallel robotic devices were proposed by MacCallion and Pham (1979). Some configurations have been built and controlled (e.g. Sumpter and Soni, 1985). Numerous works analyze kinematics, dynamics, workspace and control of parallel manipulators (see Williams, 1988 and references therein). Hunt (1983) conducted preliminary studies 4 of various parallel robot configurations. Cox and Tesar (1981) compared the relative merits of serial and parallel robots. Aradyfio and Qiao (1985) examined the inverse kinematics solutions for three different three dof planar parallel robots. Williams and Reinholtz (1988a and 1988b) studied the dynamics and workspace for a number of parallel manipulators. Shirkhodaie and Soni (1987), Gosselin and Angeles (1988), and Pennock and Kassner (1990) each present a kinematic study of one planar parallel robot. Gosselin et al. (1996) presents the position, workspace, and velocity kinematics of one planar parallel robot. Recently, more general approaches have been presented. Daniali et al. (1995) present an in-depth study of actuation schemes, velocity relationships, and singular conditions for general planar parallel robots. Gosselin (1996) presents general parallel computation algorithms for kinematics and dynamics of planar and spatial parallel robots. Merlet (1996) solved the forward pose kinematics problem for a broad class of planar parallel robots. Williams and Shelley (1997) solved the inverse pose and velocity kinematics problem for all possible planar parallel manipulators. Williams and Joshi (1999) designed and built a three-dof planar parallel robot and proposed its control implementation scheme (the 3-RPR of this thesis). When the author was working on the research, much of the theory regarding the kinematics, workspace analysis, algorithms for the control architecture had been done 5 for planar parallel robots by various other authors. Therefore, the focus of the current work is hardware design, implementation and control. 1.3 Objective of the thesis This section of the chapter presents the objective of this thesis. The objective of this work is to implement in hardware a 3-RPR planar parallel robot design and to implement control using pneumatic actuators. The 3-RPR planar parallel robot has been built and has been controlled in real time using a personal computer. When the author started this research, the main emphasis was to make use of the available resources for designing, building and implementing control for the 3-RPR planar parallel robot. Thus when the author began working on the thesis the main emphasis was given on the following considerations: 1. Use of compressed air as an actuation medium. 2. To use the existing sensors, actuating devices, actuators and the power supply to form the electromechanical support system for the robot. 3. To implement the control using a personal computer with the MultiQ boards from the Quanser Consulting (1999); to develop and run the programs using Matlab/Simulink. 6 Chapter 2: PARALLEL ROBOT KINEMATICS This chapter presents the kinematics equations and solutions for the 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator. This chapter is divided into three sections: 1. The Pose Kinematics section, which deals with describing the inverse pose kinematics and forward pose kinematics. 2. The Rate Kinematics section, which describes the forward velocity kinematics, inverse velocity kinematics and the Jacobian matrix. 3. The Workspace analysis section, which discusses the computation of workspace for the 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator. 2.1 Pose Kinematics This section presents the symbolic inverse and forward pose kinematics solutions for the 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator. In order to pursue the kinematics analysis, abbreviations and symbols are used to define the geometry of the 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator. Most of the theoretical analysis in this section has been derived and presented by Dr Robert L. Williams II (Williams and Joshi, 1999). The kinematics diagram describing the geometry and configuration of the 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator is given in Fig. 2.1. There are three grounded passive revolute joints located on the base triangle at Ai' (i =1,2,3 ) and there are three moving passive revolute joints that are located on the moving triangular end effector link, at [.i' 7 (i = 1,2,3). The active prismatic joint variables indicate the total lengths Li, between the passive revolute joints. The frame {H} depicts the moving frame, positioned at the triangle centroid and the frame {B} depicts the fixed frame at the base. The Cartesian pose variables are described by the triangular end effector link pose array x ={x y f/JY. \ \ \ \ / \ C2 \ / -\------ / \ / L1 C1 y Al / I L2 e~l~ I {B} I.. X ..

  • Improved Design of a Three-Degree of Freedom Hip Exoskeleton Based on Biomimetic Parallel Structure
    Improved Design of a Three-degree of Freedom Hip Exoskeleton Based on Biomimetic Parallel Structure by Min Pan A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science in The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Mechanical Engineering Program University of Ontario Institute of Technology July, 2011 © Min Pan, 2011 Abstract The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength, endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most exoskeletons are designed for the whole body and are powered due to their applications and high performance needs. This thesis introduces a novel design of a three-degree of freedom parallel robotic structured hip exoskeleton, which is quite different from these existing exoskeletons. An exoskeleton unit for walking typically is designed as a serial mechanism which is used for the entire leg or entire body. This thesis presents a design as a partial manipulator which is only for the hip. This has better advantages when it comes to marketing the product, these include: light weight, easy to wear, and low cost. Furthermore, most exoskeletons are designed for lower body are serial manipulators, which have large workspace because of their own volume and occupied space. This design introduced in this thesis is a parallel mechanism, which is more stable, stronger and more accurate. These advantages benefit the wearers who choose this product. This thesis focused on the analysis of the structure of this design, and verifies if the design has a reasonable and reliable structure.

  • 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.

  • 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].

  • Manipulators and Their Application to Material Handling Automation
    A Class of “Parallel-Serial” Manipulators and Their Application to Material Handling Automation Zlatko Sotirov Genmark Automation, Inc. 1213 Elko Drive, Sunnyvale CA 94089, USA Introduction The manipulating robots recently performing the material handling in the semiconductor industry can be classified into three major categories: robots with up to 4 Degrees Of Freedom (DOF), working in cylindrical coordinates; universal articulated arms with 6 or more DOF; and hybrid parallel-series manipulators with 6 or more DOF combining together the motion characteristics of the cylindrical robots and of a special kind of closed- loop mechanisms, available in the industry since the early 1980s. Regardless of the differences in the mechanical properties and motion characteristics of the robots from the different categories, the requirement imposed to them by the manipulating tasks they perform are always the same: fast and reliable material handling; long reach for small footprint; compact size and light weight; motion efficiency and ability to comply with the mechanical constraints imposed by the equipment; high ratio of the payload and the weight of the robot; cost-effectiveness, etc.. For more than a decade the cylindrical TRZ robots have been favorably used in a variety of processing machines, until the in-line equipment placement was imposed and identified as a standard by I300I. Being especially designed to work with radially arranged modules the TRZ robots became deficient to serve in-line arranged equipment because of lack of degrees of freedom. Another challenges to these robots lately inspired by the chipmakers are associated with the increased wafer sizes and the weight of the special end-effectors guaranteeing non-contact (based on Bernuli’s principle), or edge-gripping support of the wafers.
