Theoretical Investigation of Time Suboptimal Control of Industrial Manipulators Along Specified Paths

A method for the time suboptimal control of an industrial manipulator from an initial position and orientation to a final position and orientation as it moves along a specified path is proposed. Nonlinear system equations that describe the manipulator motion are linearized at each time step along the path. A method which gives the control inputs (joint angular velocities) for time suboptimal control of the manipulator is developed. In the formulation, joint angular velocity and acceleration limitations are also taken into consideration. A six degree of freedom elbow type manipulator is used in numerical examples to verify the method developed.

An open-source multi-DOF articulated robotic educational platform for autonomous object manipulation

This research presents an autonomous robotic framework for academic, vocational and training purpose. The platform is centred on a 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) serial robotic arm. The kinematic and dynamic models of the robot have been derived to facilitate controller design. An on-board camera to scan the arm workspace permits autonomous applications development. The sensory system consists of position feedback from each joint of the robot and a force sensor mounted at the arm gripper. External devices can be interfaced with the platform through digital and analog I/O ports of the robot controller. To enhance the learning outcome for beginners, higher level commands have been provided. Advanced users can tailor the platform by exploiting the open-source custom-developed hardware and software architectures. The efficacy of the proposed platform has been demonstrated by implementing two experiments; autonomous sorting of objects and controller design. The proposed platform finds its potential to teach technical courses (like Robotics, Control, Electronics, Image-processing and Computer vision) and to implement and validate advanced algorithms for object manipulation and grasping, trajectory generation, path planning, etc. It can also be employed in an industrial environment to test various strategies prior to their execution on actual manipulators.

Force transmission analyses with dimensionally homogeneous Jacobian matrices for parallel manipulators

To avoid the unit inconsistency problem in the conventional Jacobian matrix, new formulation of a dimensionally homogeneous inverse Jacobian matrix for parallel manipulators with a planar mobile platform by using three end-effector points was presented (Kim and Ryu, 2003). This paper presents force relationships between joint forces and Cartesian forces at the three End-Effector points. The derived force relationships can then be used for analyses of the input/output force transmission. These analyses, forward and inverse force transmission analyses, depend on the singular values of the derived unit consistent Jacobian matrix. Using the proposed force relationship, a numerical example is presented for actuator size design of a 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator.

机械臂带角度修正的开闭环迭代学习轨迹跟踪控制

在迭代学习控制研究中, 通常的一个假设是: 系统每次迭代初态与期望初态一致或迭代初态固定. 针对迭代学习控制律在迭代初态的限制下难以应用到机械臂轨迹跟踪控制中的问题, 本文对机械臂系统模型降阶变换, 将其转化为低阶系统. 对于变换设计后的机械臂系统模型, 提出一种带有角度修正的开闭环迭代学习控制算法, 该算法利用误差信号及相邻两次误差的偏差信号对系统控制律进行逐次修正, 与常规P型算法相比, 充分利用了系统已存的和当前的有效信息, 与常规PD型算法相比, 避免了由于微分作用而带来的不稳定影响. 同时, 用输出向量的角度关系作为评估控制输入好坏的标准对所设计的迭代学习律的变化趋势进行“奖-惩”, 从而实现了良好的跟踪效果并具有较快的收敛速度. 本文还针对机械臂系统存在关节转角限位的情况对控制算法进行改进, 以使机械臂在实际运作中真正实时地完成指定工作任务. 仿真结果表明了所提控制策略的有效性.
