En dicho capitulo, el ahora ya doctor redacto´ un pequeno˜ cuento epico´ inventado por el´ mismo. Esta pequena˜ historia relataba las aventuras de un caballero, al mas´ puro estilo ’Tolkiano’, que cabalgaba en busca de un pueblo recondito.´ Ya os podeis´ imaginar que dicho caballero, no era otro sino el´ mismo, y que su viaje era mas´ bien una odisea en la cual tuvo que superar mil y una pruebas hasta conseguir su objetivo, llegar a Agra de Cimientos (terminar su tesis). Solo´ deciros que para cada una de esas pruebas tuvo la suerte de encontrar a una mano amiga que le ayudara. En mi caso, no voy a presentarte una tesis, sino los apuntes de la asignatura ”Robot Control and Programming´´ que se imparte en ingles.´ Aunque yo no tengo tanta imaginacion´ como la de aquel doctorando para poder contaros una historia, s´ı que he tenido la suerte de encontrar a muchas personas que me han ayudado en mi viaje hacia ’Agra de Cimientos’.

  • 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.

They are available on Youtube channel “thang010146”. To bring as many as possible existing mechanical mechanisms into this document is author’s desire. However it is obstructed by author’s ability and Inventor’s capacity. Therefore from this document may be absent such mechanisms that are of complicated structure or include flexible and fluid links. This document is periodically renewed because the video building is continuous as long as possible. The renewed time is shown on the first page.

    International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology (IJEAT) ISSN: 2249 – 8958, Volume-2, Issue-4, April 2013 Kinematic Analysis of 3 D.O.F of Robot Janakinandan Nookala, Prudhvi Gogineni, Suresh Babu G Abstract:The study of motion can be divided into kinematics The relative position of two bodies connected by aprismatic and dynamics. Direct kinematics refers to the calculation of end joint is defined by the amount of linear slide of one relative effectors position, orientation, velocity, and acceleration when to the other one. This one parameter movement identifies the corresponding joint values are known. Inverse refers to the this joint as a one degree of freedom kinematic pair. opposite case in which required joint values are calculated for given end effector values, as done in path planning. Some special aspects of kinematics include handling of redundancy collision CYLINDRICAL JOINT: avoidance, and singularity avoidance. Once all relevant positions, A cylindrical joint is two degrees of freedom kinematic pair velocities, and accelerations have been calculated using used in mechanisms. Cylindrical joints provide single-axis kinematics, this information can be used to improve the control sliding function as well as a single axis rotation, providing a algorithms of a robot. Most of the industrial robots are described way for two rigid bodies to translate and rotate freely. This geometrically by their Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters, which are also difficult to perceive for students. Students will find can be pictured by an unsecured axle mounted on a chassis, the subject easier to learn if they are able to visualize in 3 as it may freely rotate and translate.

Acknowledgments This study acknowledges with sincere gratitude and thanks the patience and guidance of my thesis advisor, Dr. Nir Berzak. Without his extreme accessibility and invaluable advice, this thesis would never have gotten its shape. Thanks are due to Dr. Richard Budynas, my program advisor for his support throughout my M.S. program. Sincere gratitude is extended to Dr. Joseph Torok and Dr. Wayne Walter for spending their valuable time in reviewing this work. Special thanks to Ms. Sandy Grooms of Department of Engineering Support who helped me in getting the typed version of this report. Last but not least deep gratitude is expressed to my mother, my brother, my sister and her family for their never-ending patience and support. ABSTRACT Mechanisms are means of power transmission as well as motion transformers. A four- bar mechanism consists mainly of four planar links connected with four revolute joints. The input is usually given as rotary motion of a link and output can be obtained from the motion of another link or a coupler point.

  • Configuration Space
    Chapter 2 Configuration Space A robot is mechanically constructed by connecting a set of bodies, called links, to each other using various types of joints. Actuators, such as electric motors, deliver forces or torques to the joints that cause the robot’s links to move. Usu- ally an end-e↵ector, such as a gripper or hand for grasping and manipulating objects, is attached to a specific link. All of the robots considered in this book have links that can be modeled as rigid bodies. Perhaps the most fundamental question one can ask about a robot is, where is it? (In the sense of where the links of the robot are situated.) The answer is the robot’s configuration: a specification of the positions of all points of the robot. Since the robot’s links are rigid and of known shape,1 only a few numbers are needed to represent the robot’s configuration. For example, the configuration of a door can be represented by a single number, the angle ✓ that the door rotates about its hinge. The configuration of a point lying on a plane can be described by two coordinates, (x, y). The configuration of a coin lying heads up on a flat table can be described by three coordinates: two coordinates (x, y) that specify the location of a particular point on the coin, and one coordinate ✓ that specifies the coin’s orientation. (See Figure 2.1). The above coordinates all share the common feature of taking values over a continuous range of real numbers. The smallest number of real-valued coor- dinates needed to represent a robot’s configuration is its degrees of freedom (dof).
