A traditional design requires 3N driving motors/cables to supply 2N degrees of freedom(DOF) movement ability.The number of motors is 1.5 times that of the joints’ DOF, increasing the hardware cost and the complexity of the kinematics, dynamics, and control. This study develops a novel redundant space manipulator with decoupled cable-driven joints and segmented linkages. It is a 1680 mm continuum manipulator with eight DOF, consisting of four segmented linkages driven by eight motors/pairs of cables. Each segment has two equivalent DOF, which are realized by four quaternion joints synchronously driven by two linkage cables. The linkage cables of adjacent joints are symmetrically decoupled and offset at 180°. This design allows equal-angle movement of all the joints of each segment. Moreover, each decoupling driving mechanism is designed based on a pulley block composed of two fixed and movable pulleys. The two movable pulleys realize the opposite but equidistant motions of the two driving cables, i.e., pulling and loosening, assuring symmetrical movements of the two driving cables of each segment. Consequently, the equivalent 2N-DOF joints are driven only by 2N motors, significantly reducing the hardware cost and simplifying the mapping relationship between the motor angle/cable length and the joint angle. Furthermore, the bending range of each segment could reach 360°, which is three times that of a traditional design. Finally, a prototype has been developed and experimented with to verify the performance of the proposed mechanism and the corresponding algorithms.展开更多

It is urgent to develop effective measures to capture and remove various space debris. For this purpose, this paper presents a tendon-actuated flexible deployable manipulator. The flexible manipulator consists of several deployable units connected by Cardan joints and actuated by tendons. Compared with the present technologies for capturing space debris such as rigid robotic arm or flying net, this flexible manipulator is deployable, reusable, lightweight and applicable to the capture of large space debris. In order to investigate its deployment dynamics, an accurate dynamic model of the flexible manipulator is established based on the natural coordinate formulation (NCF) and the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Subsequently, numerical simulations are carried out to study the effects of system parameters and the base satellite on its deployment dynamics. Finally, ground experiments for both deployment and bending of the flexible manipulator are conducted to verify its effectiveness and feasibility.展开更多

The lift coefficient (C_(L)), drag coefficient (C_(D)), and vortex shedding of the underwater manipulator in single-and dualarm forms were obtained. Results indicated that the maximum increase in the lift and drag coefficients subjected to the pulsation parameters was 24.45%and 28%, respectively, when the fluid flowed past a single arm. Compared with the single arm, the lift and drag coefficients of the arms were higher than those of the single arm when arm 2 was located upstream. Additionally, the pulsation frequency had no obvious effect on the manipulator, but the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 showed an obvious increasing trend with an increase in pulsation amplitude. Meanwhile, when arm 2 was located downstream, the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 were reduced by 16.38%and 1.15%, respectively, with an increase in the pulse frequency,and the maximum increase in the lift and dragcoefficients was 33.33%and 16.78%,respectively,with increasing pulsation amplitude.Moreover, the downstream wake morphology changed significantly, and a combined vortex phenomenon appeared. Finally, a theoretical basis for examining the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine engineering equipment was established to aid future marine resource exploitation.展开更多

文摘Serial-parallel manipulators are of great interest to academic community in recent years,especially those composed of classical parallel mechanisms.There have been many studies around 2(3RPS)and 2(3SPR)S-PMs,but unfortunately their inverse kinematics have not yet been resolved.This paper discovers that the unknown kinematic parameters of middle platform are responsible for the unresolvable of inverse kinematics,meanwhile the unknown kinematic parameters of middle platform also have huge coupling relationships.Therefore,to break through this challenges,the huge coupling relationships are decoupled layer by layer,the kinematic parameters of middle platform are solved by combining Sylvester's elimination method,and the inverse displacements of 2(3RPS)and 2(3SPR)S-PMs are obtained subsequently.This paper not only solves the inverse kinematics of classical 2(3RPS)and 2(3SPR)S-PMs,but also reveals the essence of the inverse kinematics of general(3-DOF)+(3-DOF)6-DOF S-PMs and proposes a corresponding solution.

文摘This article proposes a novel method for maintaining the trajectory of an aerial manipulator by utilizing a fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode(FNTSM)manifold and a linear extended state observer(LESO).The developed controlmethod applies an FNTSMto ensure the tracking performance’s control accuracy,and an LESO to estimate the system’s unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances.Additionally,an improved salp swarm algorithm(ISSA)is employed to parameter tune the suggested controller by integrating the salp swarmtechnique with a cloud model.This approach also uses a model-free scheme to reduce the complexity of controller design without relying on complex and precise dynamics models.The simulation results show that the proposed controller outperforms linear active rejection disturbance control and PID controllers in terms of transient performance and resilience against lumped disturbances,and the ISSA can help the proposed controller find optimal control parameters.

文摘With the increasing demand for interactive aerial operations,the application of aerial manipulators is becoming more promising.However,there are a few critical problems on how to improve the energetic efficiency and pose control of the aerialmanipulator forpractical application.In this paper,a novel cable-drivenaerialmanipulatorused for remote water sampling is proposed and then its rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model is constructed which takes joint flexibility into account.To achieve high precision joint position tracking under lumped disturbances,a newly controller,which consists of three parts:linear extended state observer,adaptive super-twisting strategy,and fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control,is proposed.The linear extended state observer is adopted to approximate unmeasured states and unknown lumped disturbances and achieve model-free control structure.The adaptive super-twisting strategy and fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control are combined together to achieve good control performance and counteract chattering problem.The Lyapunovmethod is utilized to prove the overall stability and convergence of the system.Lastly,various visualization simulations and ground experiments are conducted,verifying the effectiveness of our strategy,and all outcomes demonstrate its superiorities over the existing control strategies.

文摘The existing research on rescue robots has focused mainly on reconnaissance,detection,and firefighting,and a small number of robots that can achieve human rescue have problems such as poor safety and stability and insufficient carrying capacity.This article addresses the above issues and cleverly combines the advantages of soft robotic arms,underactuated robotic arms,and suction cups based on the principles of bionics.A new design for a robotic arm was proposed,and its working principle was explained.Then,the human rescue process was divided into two stages,and the grasping force of the robotic arm in each stage was analyzed separately.Finally,a prototype of the principle was developed,and the feasibility of the design principle of the robotic arm was verified through grasping experiments on a cross-sectional contour model of the human chest.At the same time,grasping experiments were conducted on different objects to demonstrate the potential application of the robotic arm in grasping ground objects.This research proposes a stress envelope adsorption rescue robot arm inspired by the adhesion ability of the Drosera plant and the stress envelope effect,which can apply force to the entire surface of the human body,reduce local force on the human body,ensure load-bearing capacity and adaptability,and improve the safety and stability of rescue grasping.

文摘The quantity of space debris on Earth orbit has escalated tremendously in recent years, presenting a significant hazard to human space operations. It is urgent to develop effective measures to capture and remove various space debris. For this purpose, this paper presents a tendon-actuated flexible deployable manipulator. The flexible manipulator consists of several deployable units connected by Cardan joints and actuated by tendons. Compared with the present technologies for capturing space debris such as rigid robotic arm or flying net, this flexible manipulator is deployable, reusable, lightweight and applicable to the capture of large space debris. In order to investigate its deployment dynamics, an accurate dynamic model of the flexible manipulator is established based on the natural coordinate formulation (NCF) and the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Subsequently, numerical simulations are carried out to study the effects of system parameters and the base satellite on its deployment dynamics. Finally, ground experiments for both deployment and bending of the flexible manipulator are conducted to verify its effectiveness and feasibility.

文摘The position deviation of the underwater manipulator generated by vortex-induced vibration(VIV)in the shear flow increases relative to that in the uniform flow.Thus,this study established an experimental platform to investigate the vibration characteristics of the underwater manipulator under shear flow.The vibration response along the manipulator was obtained and compared with that in the uniform flow.Results indicated that the velocity,test height,and flow field were the main factors affecting the VIV of the underwater manipulator.With the increase in the reduced velocity(U_(r)),the dimensionless amplitudes increased rapidly in the in-line(IL)direction with a maximum of 0.13D.The vibration responses in the cross-flow(CF)and IL directions were concentrated at positions 2,3 and positions 1,2,with peak values of 0.46 and 0.54 mm under U_(r)=1.54,respectively.In addition,the vibration frequency increased with the reduction of velocity.The dimensionless dominant frequency in the CF and IL directions varied from 0.39-0.80 and 0.35-0.64,respectively.Moreover,the ratio of the CF and IL directions was close to 1 at a lower U_(r).The standard deviation of displacement initially increased and then decreased as the height of the test location increased.The single peak value of the standard deviation showed that VIV presented a single mode.Compared with the uniform flow,the maximum and average values of VIV displacement increased by 104%and 110%under the shear flow,respectively.

文摘Pulsating flow is a common condition for under water manipulators in Bohai Bay.This study aimed to investigate the effects of pulsation frequency and amplitude on the hydrodynamic characteristics of an underwater manipulator with different postures using the user-defined function (UDF) method. The lift coefficient (C_(L)), drag coefficient (C_(D)), and vortex shedding of the underwater manipulator in single-and dualarm forms were obtained. Results indicated that the maximum increase in the lift and drag coefficients subjected to the pulsation parameters was 24.45%and 28%, respectively, when the fluid flowed past a single arm. Compared with the single arm, the lift and drag coefficients of the arms were higher than those of the single arm when arm 2 was located upstream. Additionally, the pulsation frequency had no obvious effect on the manipulator, but the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 showed an obvious increasing trend with an increase in pulsation amplitude. Meanwhile, when arm 2 was located downstream, the C_(L) and C_(D) of arm 2 were reduced by 16.38%and 1.15%, respectively, with an increase in the pulse frequency,and the maximum increase in the lift and dragcoefficients was 33.33%and 16.78%,respectively,with increasing pulsation amplitude.Moreover, the downstream wake morphology changed significantly, and a combined vortex phenomenon appeared. Finally, a theoretical basis for examining the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine engineering equipment was established to aid future marine resource exploitation.

文摘This paper studies motor joint control of a 4-degree-of-freedom(DoF)robotic manipulator using learning-based Adaptive Dynamic Programming(ADP)approach.The manipulator’s dynamics are modelled as an open-loop 4-link serial kinematic chain with 4 Degrees of Freedom(DoF).Decentralised optimal controllers are designed for each link using ADP approach based on a set of cost matrices and data collected from exploration trajectories.The proposed control strategy employs an off-line,off-policy iterative approach to derive four optimal control policies,one for each joint,under exploration strategies.The objective of the controller is to control the position of each joint.Simulation and experimental results show that four independent optimal controllers are found,each under similar exploration strategies,and the proposed ADP approach successfully yields optimal linear control policies despite the presence of these complexities.The experimental results conducted on the Quanser Qarm robotic platform demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ADP controllers in handling significant dynamic nonlinearities,such as actuation limitations,output saturation,and filter delays.

文摘Robotic manipulators increasingly operate in complex three-dimensional workspaces where accuracy and strict limits on position,velocity,and acceleration must be satisfied.Conventional geometric planners emphasize path smoothness but often ignore dynamic feasibility,motivating control-aware trajectory generation.This study presents a novel model predictive control(MPC)framework for three-dimensional trajectory planning of robotic manipulators that integrates second-order dynamic modeling and multi-objective parameter optimization.Unlike conventional interpolation techniques such as cubic splines,B-splines,and linear interpolation,which neglect physical constraints and system dynamics,the proposed method generates dynamically feasible trajectories by directly optimizing over acceleration inputs while minimizing both tracking error and control effort.A key innovation lies in the use of Pareto front analysis for tuning prediction horizon and sampling time,enabling a systematic balance between accuracy and motion smoothness.Comparative evaluation using simulated experiments demonstrates that the proposed MPC approach achieves a minimum mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.170 and reduces maximum acceleration to 0.0217,compared to 0.0385 in classical linear methods.The maximum deviation error was also reduced by approximately 27.4%relative to MPC configurations without tuned parameters.All experiments were conducted in a simulation environment,with computational times per control cycle consistently remaining below 20 milliseconds,indicating practical feasibility for real-time applications.Thiswork advances the state-of-the-art inMPC-based trajectory planning by offering a scalable and interpretable control architecture that meets physical constraints while optimizing motion efficiency,thus making it suitable for deployment in safety-critical robotic applications.

文摘Feedforward control is one of the most effective control techniques to increase the robot’s tracking accuracy.However,most of the dynamic models used in the feedforward controllers are linearly simplified such that the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of dynamics in the workspace are ignored.In this paper,an iterative tuning method for feedforward control of parallel manipulators by taking nonlinear dynamics into account is proposed.Based on the robot rigid-body dynamic model,a feedforward controller considering the dynamic nonlinearity is presented.An iterative tuning method is given to iteratively update the feedforward controller by minimizing the root mean square(RMS)of the joint errors at each cycle.The effectiveness and extrapolation capability of the proposed method are validated through the experiments on a 2-DOF parallel manipulator.This research proposes an iterative tuning method for feedforward control of parallel manipulators considering nonlinear dynamics,which has better extrapolation capability in the whole workspace of manipulators.

文摘Advancements in dynamic modeling methods of robotic manipulator are critical to the effective implementation of model-based control.Traditional approaches rely on rigorous first-principles-based dynamic modeling and precise parameter identification,while this paper explores an altemative through data-driven model reconstruction.To tackle the curse of dimensionality in the model reconstruction of a serial robotic manipulator with multi-degree-of-freedom,a relative activation indicator is proposed.Based on this indicator,the k-means clustering algorithm is utilized to classify the data under different working conditions.Sub-sequently,we leverage the fundamental prior knowledge to find the dynamical characteristics of each cluster and reconstruct the dynamic model in a stepwise manner using the method of sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics(SINDy).For the library generation of SINDy,the strategy of double-feature-set for serial manipulators with common joint types is proposed.Simula-tion results show that the stepwise model reconstruction approach not only reduces the size of the library of candidate functions but also decreases the impact of data noise on the reconstruction results.Finally,controllers based on the reconstructed mod.els are deployed on the experimental platform and the experimental results demonstrate the improvement in trajectory tracking performance and the potential of the proposed method in engineering applications.

文摘In this study,we consider a single-link flexible manipulator in the presence of an unknown Bouc-Wen type of hysteresis and intermittent actuator faults.First,an inverse hysteresis dynamics model is introduced,and then the control input is divided into an expected input and an error compensator.Second,a novel adaptive neural network-based control scheme is proposed to cancel the unknown input hysteresis.Subsequently,by modifying the adaptive laws and local control laws,a fault-tolerant control strategy is applied to address uncertain intermittent actuator faults in a flexible manipulator system.Through the direct Lyapunov theory,the proposed scheme allows the state errors to asymptotically converge to a specified interval.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through numerical simulations and experiments.

文摘In this paper,a novel cooperative collision avoidance control strategy with relative velocity information for redundant robotic manipulators is derived to guarantee the behavioral safety of robots in the cooperative operational task.This strategy can generate the collision-free trajectory of the robotic links in real-time,which is to realize that the robot can avoid moving obstacles less conservatively and ensure tracking accuracy of terminal end-effector tasks in performing cooperative tasks.For the case where there is interference between the moving obstacle and the desired path of the robotic end-effector,the method inherits the null-space-based self-motion characteristics of the redundant manipulator,integrates the relative motion information,and uses the improved artificial potential field method to design the control items,which are used to generate the collision avoidance motion and carry out moving obstacles smoothly and less conservatively.At the same time,the strategy maintains the kinematic constraint relationship of dual-arm cooperatives,to meet the real-time collision avoidance task under collaborative tasks.Finally,the algorithm simulation indicates that the method can better ensure the tracking accuracy of the end-effector task and carry out moving obstacles smoothly.The experimental results show that the method can generate the real-time collision-free trajectory of the robot in the cooperative handling task,and the joint movement is continuous and stable.
