LARM PKM solutions for torso design in humanoid robots

Marco CECCARELLI

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2014年第9卷第4期页码 308-316 doi: 10.1007/s11465-014-0318-6

摘要：

Human-like torso features are essential in humanoid robots. In this paper problems for design and operation of solutions for a robotic torso are discussed by referring to experiences and designs that have been developed at Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) in Cassino, Italy. A new solution is presented with conceptual views as waist-trunk structure that makes a proper partition of the performance for walking and arm operations as sustained by a torso.

A modular cable-driven humanoid arm with anti-parallelogram mechanisms and Bowden cables

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2023年第18卷第1期 doi: 10.1007/s11465-022-0722-2

摘要： This paper proposes a novel modular cable-driven humanoid arm with anti-parallelogram mechanisms (APMs) and Bowden cables. The lightweight arm realizes the advantage of joint independence and the rational layout of the driving units on the base. First, this paper analyzes the kinematic performance of the APM and uses the rolling motion between two ellipses to approximate a pure-circular-rolling motion. Then, a novel type of one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) elbow joint is proposed based on this principle, which is also applied to design the 3-DOF wrist and shoulder joints. Next, Bowden cables are used to connect the joints and their driving units to obtain a modular cable-driven arm with excellent joint independence. After that, both the forward and inverse kinematics of the entire arm are analyzed. Last, a humanoid arm prototype was developed, and the assembly velocity, joint motion performance, joint stiffness, load carrying, typical humanoid arm movements, and repeatability were tested to verify the arm performance.

Function-oriented optimization design method for underactuated tendon-driven humanoid prosthetic hand

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2022年第17卷第3期 doi: 10.1007/s11465-022-0696-0

摘要： The loss of hand functions in upper limb amputees severely restricts their mobility in daily life. Wearing a humanoid prosthetic hand would be an effective way of restoring lost hand functions. In a prosthetic hand design, replicating the natural and dexterous grasping functions with a few actuators remains a big challenge. In this study, a function-oriented optimization design (FOD) method is proposed for the design of a tendon-driven humanoid prosthetic hand. An optimization function of different functional conditions of full-phalanx contact, total contact force, and force isotropy was constructed based on the kinetostatic model of a prosthetic finger for the evaluation of grasping performance. Using a genetic algorithm, the optimal geometric parameters of the prosthetic finger could be determined for specific functional requirements. Optimal results reveal that the structure of the prosthetic finger is significantly different when designed for different functional requirements and grasping target sizes. A prosthetic finger was fabricated and tested with grasping experiments. The mean absolute percentage error between the theoretical value and the experimental result is less than 10%, demonstrating that the kinetostatic model of the prosthetic finger is effective and makes the FOD method possible. This study suggests that the FOD method enables the systematic evaluation of grasping performance for prosthetic hands in the design stage, which could improve the design efficiency and help prosthetic hands meet the design requirements.

Ahybrid biogeography-based optimization method for the inverse kinematics problem of an 8-DOF redundant humanoid

Zi-wu REN,Zhen-hua WANG,Li-ning SUN

《信息与电子工程前沿（英文）》 2015年第16卷第7期页码 607-616 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.14a0335

摘要： The redundant humanoid manipulator has characteristics of multiple degrees of freedom and complex joint structure, and it is not easy to obtain its inverse kinematics solution. The inverse kinematics problem of a humanoid manipulator can be formulated as an equivalent minimization problem, and thus it can be solved using some numerical optimization methods. Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new biogeography inspired optimization algorithm, and it can be adopted to solve the inverse kinematics problem of a humanoid manipulator. The standard BBO algorithm that uses traditional migration and mutation operators suffers from slow convergence and prematurity. A hybrid biogeography-based optimization (HBBO) algorithm, which is based on BBO and differential evolution (DE), is presented. In this hybrid algorithm, new habitats in the ecosystem are produced through a hybrid migration operator, that is, the BBO migration strategy and DE/best/1/bin differential strategy, to alleviate slow convergence at the later evolution stage of the algorithm. In addition, a Gaussian mutation operator is adopted to enhance the exploration ability and improve the diversity of the population. Based on these, an 8-DOF (degree of freedom) redundant humanoid manipulator is employed as an example. The end-effector error (position and orientation) and the ‘away limitation level’ value of the 8-DOF humanoid manipulator constitute the fitness function of HBBO. The proposed HBBO algorithm has been used to solve the inverse kinematics problem of the 8-DOF redundant humanoid manipulator. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

Superunderactuated Multifingered Hand for Humanoid Robot

ZHANG Wen-zeng, CHEN Qiang, SUN Zhen-guo, XU Lei

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2006年第1卷第1期页码 33-39 doi: 10.1007/s11465-005-0015-6

摘要：

A novel underactuated finger mechanism was designed. Finger mechanism was incorporated into a humanoid robot hand to obtain more degrees of freedom with less actuators and good grasping functions with shape adaptation, therefore decreasing the requirements for the control system. A novel superunderactuated multifingered hand (TH-2 Hand) for a humanoid robot was designed based on a previous underactuated finger mechanism. The TH-2 Hand was attached to a humanoid robot because of its high personification, superunderactuation, compactness, easy real-time control, small volume, light weight, and strong grasping function.

An experimental analysis of human straight walking

Tao LI, Marco CECCARELLI

《机械工程前沿（英文）》 2013年第8卷第1期页码 95-103 doi: 10.1007/s11465-013-0357-4

摘要：

In this paper, an experimental analysis of human straight walking has been presented. Experiments on human walking were carried out by using Cassino tracking system which is a passive cable-based measuring system. This system is adopted because it is capable of both pose and wrench measurements with fairly simple monitoring of operation. By using experimental results, trajectories of a human limb extremity and its posture have been analyzed; forces that are exerted against cables by the limb of a person under test have been measured by force sensors as well. Furthermore, by using experimental tests, modeling and characterization of the human straight walking gait have been proposed.

摘要：

本文简要介绍了美国国防部先进研究项目局举办的机器人大挑战赛的历史，并将关注的焦点放在了2012机器人挑战赛上。作为该挑战赛DRC-HUBO队的成员，我们为完成崎岖地面的任务提出了不同的方法，如增大脚踏板、转换成四足行走等。同时，本文还介绍了一种帮助提高仿人机器人运动稳定性的新步态——滑雪式步态。本文对该步态的稳定性进行了分析，并利用稳定度裕量从两种备选的步进顺序（爬行-1和爬行-2）中进行选择。接下来，本文对滑雪式步态中冗余的闭链系统进行力/力矩分析，通过最小化总耗能量来确定关节力矩。根据稳定性分析和力/力矩分析，我们设计了一种手杖长度，使其可以支撑HUBO2仿人机器人平台稳定地实现爬行-2步态。最后，通过将本文的试验结果和两足步行进行对比，验证了滑雪式步态的可行性。同时，介绍了我队在该机器人挑战赛上的表现。
