Stiffness analysis and experimental validation of robotic systems

Giuseppe CARBONE

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2011, Volume 6, Issue 2, Pages 182-196 doi: 10.1007/s11465-011-0221-3

Abstract:

Stiffness can be considered of primary importance in order to guarantee the successful use of any robotic system for a given task. Therefore, this paper proposes procedures for carrying out both numerical and experimental estimations of stiffness performance for multibody robotic systems. The proposed numerical procedure is based on models with lumped parameters for deriving the Cartesian stiffness matrix. Stiffness performance indices are also proposed for comparing stiffness performance. Then, an experimental procedure for the evaluation stiffness performance is proposed as based on a new measuring system named as Milli-CATRASYS (Milli Cassino Tracking System) and on a trilateration technique. Cases of study are reported to show the soundness and engineering feasibility of both the proposed numerical formulation for stiffness analysis and experimental validation of stiffness performance.

Comparison of indices for stiffness performance evaluation

Giuseppe CARBONE, Marco CECCARELLI,

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2010, Volume 5, Issue 3, Pages 270-278 doi: 10.1007/s11465-010-0023-z

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of a numerical evaluation of the stiffness performance for multibody robotic systems. An overview is presented with basic formulation concerning indices that are proposed in literature. New indices are also outlined. Stiffness indices are computed and compared for a case study. Results are used for comparing the effectiveness of the stiffness indices. The main goal is to propose a performance index describing synthetically the elastostatic response of a multibody robotic system and also for design purposes.

Affine formation tracking control of unmanned aerial vehicles Research Articles

Huiming LI, Hao CHEN, Xiangke WANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2022, Volume 23, Issue 6, Pages 909-919 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2100109

Abstract:

The tracking problem for (UAVs) is considered in this paper, where fixed-wing UAVs are modeled as unicycle-type agents with asymmetrical speed constraints. A group of UAVs are required to generate and track a time-varying target formation obtained by affinely transforming a nominal formation. To handle this problem, a distributed control law based on stress matrix is proposed under the leader-follower control scheme. It is proved, theoretically, that followers can converge to the desired positions and achieve affine transformations while tracking diverse trajectories. Furthermore, a saturated control strategy is proposed to meet the speed constraints of fixed-wing UAVs, and numerical simulations are executed to verify the effectiveness of our proposed tracking control strategy in improving maneuverability.

Static balancing of planar articulated robots

Giuseppe QUAGLIA,Zhe YIN

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2015, Volume 10, Issue 4, Pages 326-343 doi: 10.1007/s11465-015-0355-9

Abstract:

Static balancing for a manipulator’s weight is necessary in terms of energy saving and performance improvement. This paper proposes a method to design balancing devices for articulated robots in industry, based on robotic dynamics. Full design details for the balancing system using springs are presented from two aspects: One is the optimization for the position of the balancing system; the other is the design of the spring parameters. As examples, two feasible balancing devices are proposed, based on different robotic structures: The first solution consists of linkages and springs; the other consists of pulleys, cross mechanisms and (hydro-) pneumatic springs. Then the two solutions are compared. Pneumatic, hydro-pneumatic and mechanical springs are discussed and their parameters are decided according to the requirements of torque compensation. Numerical results show that with the proper design using the methodology presented in this paper, an articulated robot can be statically balanced perfectly in all configurations. This paper therefore provides a design method of the balancing system for other similar structures.
