Research Abstract |
Aiming to establish an effective method to control network-structure robots which are composed of modules and have with huge degree-of-freedom, Module Base Control was proposed and was applied to planar and spatial network-structure robots. The control performance was theoretically and experimentally discussed. The results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) Formulae of the direct and inverse kinematics of three kinds of network-structure modules with several actuators and DOF were derived by taking account of representative points on the modules. A new method to carry out the inverse kinematics of network-structure robot with iterative convergent calculation repeating the inverse kinematics of the modules for the inaccurate desired positions of the representative points and the direct kinematics of the whole robot was proposed (2) Continuous path control of the planar network-structure robot with 12 DOF based on the proposed inverse kinematics with representative points was experime

ntally examined. Because the robot could generate the desired trajectories, the proposed method was confirmed effective and useful. (3) The module base control method was extended and applied to planar network-structure robots with several output points or with multiple revolute joints and overactuators. They achieved precision positioning with small iterative calculations. (4) Number syntheses of spatial network-structure modules which have multi-jointed links, revolute joints, cylindrical joints and spherical joints was carried out. By combining the obtained two modules, a spatial network-structure robot with five degrees-of-freedom was synthesized. (5) Direct kinematic analysis and singular configuration analysis of the synthesized spatial network-structure robot were carried out. By using the results, a prototype of the robot which could avoid singular configuration was built and experimentally examined. It was then confirmed that the proposed module base control was effective and useful to control planar or spatial network-structure robots. Less
