For the evaluation of grasp quality, different measures have been proposed that are based on wrench spaces. Almost all of them have drawbacks that derive from the non-uniformity of the wrench space, composed of force and torque dimensions. Moreover, many of these approaches are computationally expensive. We address the problem of choosing a proper task wrench space to overcome the problems of the non-uniform wrench space and show how to integrate it in a well-known, high precision and extremely fast computable grasp quality measure.

In the field of service robotics, whole arm contact with an unstructured environment or human beings becomes a major issue. Therefore soft robots, which mean robots with passively (or mechanically) compliant joints, become more and more important. In this work we analyze what Cartesian stiffness at the tool center point one can achieve with a passively compliant, redundant robot with variable joint stiffness. We restrict this work to the special case of uncoupled joint stiffness only, as coupling of joint stiffness seems to be mechanically difficult to realize. Finally we discuss a Cartesian controller, which incorporates the compliance of the joints and ensures the correct stiffness behavior also for high displacements from the desired position.

This paper introduces a new Matlab Toolbox called RobSin, which for a given plant (multi-) model provides a fast computation of the stabilizing region in the coordinates of PID parameters. The algorithms use the concept of singular frequencies for computation of convex polygonal slices on planes kp = const. In addition to time-continuous systems, the method described in this paper is especially convenient for the design of time-discrete PID and three-term controllers and time-delay systems.

Hand-guided scanners allow for digitization by manually sweeping a laser beam over an object's surface. The result highly depends on the way the user handles the system and his ability to keep track of the parts of the surface that are already scanned. Processing and visualization during data acquisition are helpful in this context. In this paper, we propose an online surface reconstruction algorithm for the visualization of the DLR scanner system data. The algorithm successively generates a triangle mesh by incrementally inserting 3D points. Point neighborhoods are used to limit the point density, to estimate the surface normal at the inserted point, and to locally retriangulate the mesh. A dynamic data structure for fast neighborhood search without restrictions to the amount of vertices or the object size and with low complexity is introduced. Finally, results with the hand-guided scanner system are presented.

We propose a numerically reliable computational approach to design fault detection filters for periodic systems. This approach is based on a new numerically stable algorithm to compute least order annihilators without explicitly building time-invariant lifted system representations. The main computation in this algorithm is the orthogonal reduction of a periodic matrix pair to a periodic Kronecker-like form, from which the periodic realization of the detector is directly obtained.

This paper presents a methodology to create 3D visualization of discrete event simulation. This methodology connects discrete event simulation directly to 3D animation with its novel methods of analyzing and converting discrete simulation results into animation events to trigger 3D animation. Discrete simulation results are analyzed and displayed in a graph structure that reveals all possible sequences of simulation events. In addition, a 3D animation framework is constructed for the visualization of discrete simulation results. This framework supports the reuse of both the existing 3D animation objects and behavior components, and allows the rapid development of new 3D animation objects by users with no special knowledge in computer graphics. This methodology has been implemented with the software component technology. Results in an electronics assembly factory are also provided in the paper to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a nonlinear adaptive disturbance rejection approach for single-input-single-output linear-time-invariant uncertain systems subject to sinusoidal disturbances with unknown amplitude and frequency. This is an extension of our earlier study to a more complicated plant, a two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) system representing a vibration absorber setting. The controller design is based on a single Lyapunov function incorporating both the error states and the update laws and, hence, global stability and improved transient performance are readily achieved. Utilizing only the system output, a virtual control input is used in place of non-measurable and unknown signals. The performance of the adaptation algorithm is demonstrated through real-time simulations, both for regulation and tracking, on a 2DOF system representing an active vibration absorber setup. It is shown that when the primary system is subjected to an unknown sinusoidal disturbance, the proposed controller in the absorber subsection completely suppresses the primary system vibration in the presence of unknown disturbance.

This paper presents a methodology for optimum dynamic balancing of planar parallel manipulators typified with a variable speed 2 DOF parallel manipulator articulated with revolute joints. The dynamic balancing is formulated as an optimisation problem such that a sum-squared values of bearing forces, driving torques, shaking moment, and the deviation of the angular momentum from its mean value are minimized throughout an operation range of the manipulator, provided that a set of balancing constraints consisting of the shaking force balancing conditions, the sizes of some inertial and geometric parameters are satisfied. Sets of optimisation results corresponding to various combinations of the elements of the objective function are evaluated in order to quantify their influence on the resulting bearing forces, the driving torques, shaking moment and force. The results prove that the proposed optimisation approach can be used to minimize any desired combination of the forces, moments, and torques involved in any parallel mechanism by choosing a suitable set of weighting factors. The method is systematic, versatile and easy to implement for the optimum balancing of the parallel manipulator and more general parallel manipulators.

This paper presents the development of a full order sliding mode controller for tracking problem of direct drive robot manipulators. By treating the arm as an uncertain system represented by its nominal and bounded parametric uncertainties, a new robust full order sliding mode tracking controller is derived such that the actual trajectory tracks the desired trajectory as closely as possible despite the nonlinearities and input couplings present in the system. A proportional-integral sliding surface is chosen to ensure the stability of overall dynamics during the entire period i.e. the reaching phase and the sliding phase. Application to a three DOF direct drive robot manipulator is considered.

<正>In this paper a new version of the Cassino parallel manipulator (CaPaMan 2) is presented. A model describing the multibody system through mixed coordinates has been created, and a simulation program has been developed to perform both kinematic and dynamic analysis of the manipulator. This program uses an entirely symbolic formulation of the equations of motion for the mechanism.
