Abstract

In this paper, an approach for orientation singularity analysis of parallel manipulators (PMs) is proposed by introducing several performance indices referred to theunique form of screw based Jacobian in the velocity transmission as well as force transmission. Here, to prove the effectiveness of the approach, an example of 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) prismatic-revolute-spherical (PRS) parallel manipulator (PM) is first presented to illustrate the fact that the distributions of singularity boundary of the proposed approach is consistence with the result referred to nonredunant PMs by Liu et al. [22]. Further, the proposed approach is an appropriate one not only for nonredunant PMs, but also for a class of redunant PMs by providing another example of the redunant variable geometry truss (VGT) PM, since the performance index of orientation singularity for the manipulator can becreated only by determining the unique form of screw based Jacobian.

Abstract

The main scope of this project is to use mechatronics approach to design and develop a complete humanoid robotic arm which can be used to draw different figures. A mechatronic approach is basically a synergistic combination of mechanical, electrical and control systems such that each and every stage of the product life cycle of the final product gets optimised. So, this approach which is used in this project would ensure that the robotic arm which would be the final product would have its design metrics optimised at each and every stage of its development cycle. The motive of developing this arm is to ensure that the final arm which is produced could be easily attached to the complete humanoid robot and would enable it to draw any kind of complex figures using highly accurate teach pendent mechanism.

Abstract

Due to their advantage of high speed, accuracy and repeatability, robot manipulators have become major component of manufacturing industries and even now a days they become part of routine life.            Two link robot manipulator is a very basic classical and simple example of robot followed in understanding of basic fundamentals of robotic manipulator. The equation of motion for two link robot is a nonlinear differential equation. For higher degrees of freedom, as the closed form solutions are very difficult we have to use numerical solution. Here we focused mainly on control of robot manipulator to get the desired position using combination of two classical methods PID and computed torque control method after deriving the equation of motion. For the same simulation is represented using MATLAB and compared with computed torque control method.

Abstract

A theoretical framework for autonomous self-detection and self-correction of unexpected error conditions is derived by incorporating the principles of operation in autonomous control in biological evolution.  Using the biologically inspired principles, the time-dependent multi-dimensional disparity vector is used as a quantitative metric for detecting unexpected and unforeseeable error conditions without any external assistance.  The disparity vector is a measure of the discrepancy between the expected outcome predicted by the autonomous system and the actual outcome in the real world.  It is used as a measure to detect any unexpected or unforeseeable errors.  The process for autonomous self-correction of the self-discovered errors is an optimization process to minimize the errors represented by the disparity vectors.  The strategies for prioritizing the urgency of corrective actions are also provided in the theoretical derivations.  The criteria for any change in direction of the corrective actions are also provided quantitatively.  The criteria for the detection of the minimization and maximization of errors are also provided in the autonomous optimization process.  The biological correspondences of the emotional responses in relation to the autonomic self-corrective feedback systems are also provided.

Abstract

Design of a robot generally involves various types of analyses that invariably include structural, numerical, kinematic, dynamic and experimental analysis. A robot designed as a solution for social problems would have to undergo all these stages before it is incorporated in-situ. The authors in continuation to their earlier work [1] are presenting the results of structural analysis in this paper. Initially a detailed description of the anatomy of the proposed robot is provided for clarity along with the identified design parameters. The primary design parameter ‘load to power ratio’ establishes certain geometric and structural constrains on the design of links comprising the robot. This relationship is studied in order to improve to the load to power ratio of the robot. A significant reduction in weight is achieved by working on these variables which leads to the improvement in the functional aspects too, viz., reduced torque requirement from the motor. Upon finalizing on the choice of motors and sensors the 5 layered control architecture based on statespace representation is also presented. Fuzzy logic based control algorithm is proposed to unite the layered approach depending on the task allocated to the robot.

Abstract

Abstract—Localization of sensor node with least error is one of the major concern in wireless sensor network as some of the application require sensor node to know their location with high degree of precision. For mobile anchor based localization many of the path planning schemes already developed which includes scan, double scan, Circles & S- Curves. These path planning schemes have some limitations like localization error, Number of sensor nodes covered in the network, Trajectory length of mobile anchor node.  This paper represents anchor movement strategy which is based on Scan path, with modifications are made in such a way that it satisfies the requirements of localization scheme.  This movement strategy ensures that trajectory of mobile anchor node will minimize localization error and also will cover majority of sensor node in the environment. The localization error yielded by Modified Scan algorithm is in the range of 0.2 to 0.4m which is quite lower than the other existing mentioned path planning strategies producing localization error in the range 0.6 to 1.8mKeywords—Localization; Mobile anchor node; Wireless sensor network; Modified Scan algorithm

Abstract

The paper presents a modified Denavit-Hartenberg coordinate system resulted from joint application of graph theory and the Denavit-Hartenberg coordinate system, which was developed to describe the kinematics of robot actuators with a linear open kinematic chain. It allows forming mathematical models of actuating mechanisms for the robots with tree-like kinematic structures. The work introduces the concept of primary and auxiliary coordinate systems. It considers an example of making the links’ reachability matrix and reachability graph for the tree-like actuating mechanism of a robotic mannequin. The use efficiency of the proposed modified Denavit-Hartenberg coordinate system is illustrated by the examples giving the mathematical description of the kinematics and dynamics of specific robots’ tree-like actuating mechanisms discussed in the previously published papers. It is shown that the proposed coordinate system can also be successfully applied to describe the actuating mechanisms of robots with a linear open kinematic chain, which is a particular case of the tree-like kinematic structure. The absence of branching joints in it does not require introducing auxiliary coordinate systems and the parameters f(i) and ns(i) are necessary only for the formal notation of equations, which have similar forms for the tree-like and linear chains. In this case, the modified and traditional coordinate systems coincide.

Abstract

Robotics is a field concerned with the “intelligent connection of perception of action”. The most common manufacturing robot is the robotic arm with different degree of freedoms. Today, these humanoids perform many functions to assist humans in different undertakings such as space missions, driving and monitoring high speed vehicles. They are called semi-humanoids because they resemble to upper part of human body.        The idea of this paper is to change perception of controlling robotic arm. This paper provides a way to get rid of old fashioned remote controls and gives an intuitive technique for implementation of Semi-Humanoid Gesture controlled robot. It includes two robot arms which are exactly similar to human arm (5 fingers) increasing sensitivity of the system. It includes motion sensors -flex and accelerometer (used in mobile phones for tilting motion). The system design is divided into 3 parts namely: Robotic Arm, Real time video and Platform.        The prime aim of the design is that the robot arm and platform starts the movement as soon as the operator makes hand and leg gesture. The Robotic arm is synchronized with the gestures (hand postures) of the operator and the platform part is controlled by the leg gestures of the operator.  The robot and the Gesture device are connected wireless via RF. The wireless communication enables user to interact with the robot in an effortless way.

Abstract

Among other robots, underwater robot design involves critical control issues due to complex non-linear force and turns controlling. In this paper, a robust approach was proposed to efficiently control the behavior of an underwater robot through five degrees of freedom. Also, by designing a new type of a pair of thruster with the ability to 360 degree rotation along with a mass shifter, it gives this possibility to the robot that easily and with a minimal energy, change its depth quickly, preserving its balance best possible at the same time.
