The proposed mechanism, 2-PUU 2PUS, is designed based on the screw theory and the parallel virtual chain type synthesis method. Based on the structure analysis of the 4-DOF parallel mechanism, the inverse position equation is studied using the inverse analysis theory of kinematics. The design and the stress analysis of the mechanism are investigated using SolidWorks software. The virtual prototype of the parallel mechanism is constructed, and the dynamic simulation is performed using ADAMS™ software. The system model utilizing PID and PI controllers has been built using MATLAB software. A more realistic simulation in accordance with a given bending angle and point to point control is implemented by the use of both ADAMS/MATLAB software. The simulation results showed that this control method has solved the coordinate control for the 4-DOF parallel manipulator so that each output is feedback to the four driving rods. From the results, the tracking performance is achieved. Other control techniques, such as intelligent ones, are recommended to improve the tracking performance and reduce the numerical truncation error.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122977718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the current CAD/CAM systems don't provide any guidance to the user to predict or eliminate the building error. This paper presents an application study to analyze the dimensional building error of selected model. The study is started by reading the CAD file data, reorienting the model in definite different building orientation angles about its own axes, and then slicing the model with different values of layer thickness. The resulted errors at each layer thickness with different angles are then calculated and finally the suitable building orientation and suitable layer thickness that eliminate the error in Z-direction of the physical model is suggested. This study helps in building a complete physical model without wasting any material depending on its dimensions. It also provides guidance and valuable information to the RM users to get the best choice of process parameters without extra arbitrary trials before the actual building process.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122025050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal problem is formulated here by multi-objective functions minimizing driving energy and maximizing manipulability measure. It is a difficult problem to find the optimum number of joints and lengths of a multi-jointed rigid robot arm directly by mathematical programing.

Description of problems in the textile industry is too uncertain, vague, or subjective to be useful. To overcome this uncertainty and achieve automated on-line control, fuzzy expert systems have been used. Interval type-2 fuzzy sets help us to improve the performance result in textile defect recognition. Type-2 fuzzy sets (T2FSs) have been shown to manage uncertainty more effectively than Type-1 fuzzy sets (T1FS). However computing with T2FSs can require undesirably large amount of computations since it involves numerous embedded T2FSs. To reduce the complexity, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs) have been used, since the secondary memberships are all equal to one. Experimental results for several data sets are given, which showed the effectiveness of the suggested technique for detecting fabric defects and also show the privilege and high accuracy when compared with other methods.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117085954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, new applications areas for robotics are created in which these two capabilities are needed to perform the tasks. The flying motion will be based on the concept of flying mechanism of the quadrotor. Wheeled mobile platform is combined to the flying mechanism to facilitate ground motion. Transformation mechanism was developed to transform the robot from the ground motion configuration to the flying motion configuration and vice versa. The idea of this mechanism is to close the rotors' arms of the quadrotor and put them in the vertical position when the robot is used for ground motion. This is necessary to enable navigation through narrow spaces. A manipulator with 3-DOF has been added to handle objects during ground motion. After defining the appropriate mechanisms and the basic structure of the robot, geometrical dimensions and material selection of each part are decided. Then, CAD model is developed using SolidWorks, and an iterative process has been carried out to enhance and develop the robot structure and the transformation mechanism. The CAD model was tested using the finite element method in ANSYS14 where static structural study is performed. Finally, motors, sensors and control system hardware were selected for this robot. The analysis indicates the feasibility of the proposed robot.","PeriodicalId":410182,"journal":{"name":"2012 First International Conference on Innovative Engineering Systems","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132507551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the experiment, carrier-phase differences were measured at thirty-three points in a field of 4 × 4 m; their two-dimensional positions were estimated. The experimental measurements show that the method can achieve decimeter- to meter-level positioning accuracy.
