Abstract
The 3-DOF Translational Force-controlled End-effector (TFE) based on 3-P(UU)2 Parallel Mechanism (PM) and pneumoelectric actuator is developed for polishing process performed by industrial robots, in which synchronous force and motion planning is critical to enhance the polishing performance. However, conventional planning methods are mainly developed to generate the trajectory for robotic motion control. Utilizing periodic splines, a new jerk-optimal Force and Motion Synchronous Planning (FMSP) method is proposed for the 3-DOF TFE to improve the force control stability between the tool and environment. Both the kinematics of the 3-DOF translational PM and the dynamics of the hybrid serial-parallel and macro-mini robotic system are established through screw theory. By introducing septuple B-splines for motion trajectory and cubic splines for contact force with periodic boundary conditions, the jerk-optimal performance index of motion and force is employed to formulate the FMSP model in Cartesian space. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the high-order continuity of the active driving force, moving acceleration and jerk-optimal performance index generated by FMSP is preferable compared to the Trajectory Planning with Point-to-point Force (TPWPF) and the Force-motion Linear Interpolation (FMLI) methods. The unloaded force peaks caused by the motion impact are reduced by 21 % and 22.6 % along x and y direction, respectively. Furthermore, the peaks of the contact force between the tool and workpiece decrease by 31.5 % and 20.4 % owing to slighter systemic vibration and impact. The FMSP method for force-controlled end-effector shows great potential in robotic continuous contact operations.
期刊介绍:
The journal, Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, focuses on sharing research applications that contribute to the development of new or enhanced robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies that are relevant to industry. Papers that combine theory and experimental validation are preferred, while review papers on current robotics and manufacturing issues are also considered. However, papers on traditional machining processes, modeling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimization are generally not within the scope of the journal, as there are more appropriate journals for these topics. Similarly, papers that are overly theoretical or mathematical will be directed to other suitable journals. The journal welcomes original papers in areas such as industrial robotics, human-robot collaboration in manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
