Considering the advantages of an offset moving platform, such as enlarged orientation workspace and improved stiffness, a novel 2R1T (2PRR)R-PRS-PSS RAPM with an offset moving platform is proposed in this paper, called M2. Compared with the existing 2R1T RAPM with an offset moving platform, the main advantage of the proposed RAPM is that the heavy motors of four limbs are mounted on the base to reduce the movable mass and improve dynamic response. The kinematical analysis is investigated, including mobility, inverse, forward kinematics, and singularity analysis. Meanwhile, comprehensive evaluations of the properties of the offset moving platform and actuation redundancy are carried out. Compared with M2 RAPM's form without an offset in moving platform, i.e., no auxiliary platform, and M2 RAPM's nonredundantly actuated form, the proposed M2 RAPM can achieve a larger orientation workspace and higher stiffness. Particularly, the maximum stiffness of the proposed M2 is 68.8% larger than its form without an auxiliary platform. Finally, the dimensional parameters of the proposed M2 are optimized to obtain an improved satisfactory workspace.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49403399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the feasible manipulation workspace of a reconfigurable robotic hand, the metamorphic hand, is complex as the finger operation planes alter with the reconfigurable palm's motions. Different useful workspace approaches and grasp quality metrics have been introduced, but a precision manipulation workspace (PMW) approach for reconfigurable robotic hands has yet to be presented. This paper presents a hand workspace taxonomy based on previous studies, and a new approach to obtaining a PMW of a robotic hand which satisfies three properties: singularity avoidance, interference avoidance, and force-closure. A grasp quality metric, termed the minimum friction coefficient (MFC), is introduced to indicate the force-closure conditions of a robotic hand's configurations. Unlike the previous grasp quality metrics targeting online grasp planning tasks, this MFC-based measure focuses on the offline design of robotic hands. This method is essential for conducting grasp planning, design optimization, and actuation reduction for reconfigurable robotic hands. Further, the approach is applied to a three-fingered metamorphic hand, and the results are studied thoroughly.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63503946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The required air pressure is supplied to the PAMs using fast switching on/off type pneumatic flow control valves. The proposed control architecture uses a PD controller with a feed-forward term in the outer control loop to correct the position errors using an approximate model of the system dynamics and approximate PAM force-contraction characteristics. An inner pressure regulator loop tracks the reference pressure signals supplied by the outer loop using a pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme to control the pneumatic valves based on the approximated inflation-deflation characteristics for the given pneumatic flow circuit. The proposed controller is unique for PAM actuated robots that simultaneously considers three levels of complications, viz. coupled dynamics of multi-degrees of freedom system, non-linearities in the force-contraction characteristics of PAMs, and nonlinearities involved in the use of on/off type pneumatic flow control valves. Experiments carried out using a laboratory prototype validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42226870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a wavy non-rotating soft actuator structure was proposed for hand rehabilitation, and an axial stiffener was added to the main structure of the actuator according to the function of the bamboo fiber. A physical model of the actuator was fabricated using a multistep casting molding method, and the performance of the designed soft actuator was tested experimentally. The results showed that the bending angle and contact force gradually increased with increasing pressure. The average maximum bending angle and contact force can reach 286 ± 14.3 degree and 1.04 ± 0.051 N, with a pressure of 72 kPa. Meanwhile, the bending torques of the soft actuator at various joints (MCP, PIP, DIP) were tested, to verify that it can meet the needs of soft actuators for hand applications. Furthermore, the load lifting of the soft actuator with axial stiffeners can increase by 6 mm on average compared with a soft actuator without axial stiffeners under negative pressure. In conclusion, the pneumatic soft actuator can produce two different motion functions under the action of one cavity. In addition, a soft actuator with an axial stiffener can improve the load capacity under negative pressure. By assembling the actuators, a three-finger gripper was manufactured. The gripper could grasp and lift objects. Therefore, this work provides a new route for the development of pneumatic soft actuators and soft robots, which has efficient driving.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46587802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many applications, the torsional mode can be ignored, and a 5-DOF dynamically isotropic, parallel manipulator capable of attenuating three translational (3T) and two rotational (2R) modes are sufficient. In this work, we present the designs of a novel 5-DOF dynamically isotropic parallel manipulator for vibration isolation where the torsion mode can be ignored. We present closed-form solutions in their explicit form, and these are obtained using a geometry-based approach. The first design is based on a modification to the two radii GSP and provides enhanced design flexibility and feasibility. The second design, with the first five decoupled modes, is based on superposing geometrical parameters of two 3-legged dynamically isotropic or decoupled parallel manipulators. It is shown that this design has two translational modes, namely the X, Y modes, which are decoupled from two rotational modes Rot(X), Rot(Y ) and are controlled by two different sets of three legs. This feature can lead to simpler control and less power requirements if active vibration control is chosen. The designs presented in this work include the effect of asymmetry and the payload center of mass variation. The dynamically isotropic and decoupled designs were successfully validated using the finite element software ANSYS®. Experimental results based on a two-radii GSP prototype further validate analytical and simulation results.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45791849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heavy and off-center load of the gangway significantly influences the high-precision compensation control of the platform. Besides, the gangway assembled on the platform vibrates easily due to its low natural frequency which requires high dynamic performance of the compensating. To deal with the problem mentioned, the modal space control strategy is introduced to fully consider the inertia characteristics. Firstly, based on Kane's method, the complete dynamic model considering the ship's motion and actuator inertia is established. Then, the modal space PD controller (MSPDC) and the modal space sliding mode controller (MSSMC) are designed based on modal theory. Finally, simulations are carried out to show the advantages of the proposed model and the advantages of proposed controllers in compensation accuracy and anti-interference ability. Furthermore, The Significant Compensation Rate (SCR) is proposed to evaluate the six-DOF compensation accuracy.

The analysis of kinematic and dynamic performance of asymmetric mechanisms has been an issue of interest. In this paper, an asymmetric SCARA-type PM with 4 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) is proposed. First, the orientation characteristic set is calculated to obtain the DOF of the PM. Then, the inverse kinematics and the velocity and acceleration of each branch chain of the mechanism is analyzed. The dynamic model of the mechanism is established according to the principle of virtual work. The workspace of the mechanism is drawn according to the constraints that have been given to the mechanism's kinematic pairs. The singularity, dexterity, motion/force transfer performance and maximum acceleration performance of the mechanism are also analyzed. On this basis, the kinematic and dynamic performance evaluation indexes of the mechanism are studied. Finally, the workspace and acceleration performance of the mechanism are optimized based on the differential evolution algorithm (DE) to obtain the structural parameters when the mechanism achieves optimal performance. The asymmetric PM proposed in this paper, as well as the algorithm of performance index and optimization method used can provide some reference value for configuration design and optimization analysis.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43439532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
