The arm solution for the orientation of a manipulator using a self organizing neural net is studied in this paper. A new training model of the self organizing neural network is proposed by thoroughly studying Martinetz, Ritter and Schulten′s self organizing neural network based on Kohonen′s self organizing mapping algorithm using a Widrow Hoff type error correction rule and closely combining the characters of the inverse kinematic relationship for a robot arm. The computer simulation results for a PUMA 560 robot show that the proposed method has a significant improvement over other methods documented in the references in self organizing capability and precision by training process.展开更多

The forward kinematics and inverse kinematics for a 5-DOF manipulator are analyzed systematically. The singular problem is discussed after the forward kinematics is provided. For any given reachable position and orientation of the end-effector, the derived inverse kinematics will provide an accurate solution. In other words, there exists no singular problem for the 5-DOF manipulator, which has wide application areas such as welding, spraying, and painting. Experiment results verify the effectiveness of the methods developed in this paper.

In this pa...The kinematic redundancy in a robot leads to an infinite number of solutions for inverse kinematics, which implies the possibility to select a 'best' solution according to an optimization criterion. In this paper, two optimization objective functions are proposed, aiming at either minimizing extra degrees of freedom (DOFs) or minimizing the total potential energy of a multilink redundant robot. Physical constraints of either equality or inequality types are taken into consideration in the objective functions. Since the closed-form solutions do not exist in general for highly nonlinear and constrained optimization problems, we adopt and develop two numerical methods, which are verified to be effective and precise in solving the two optimization problems associated with the redundant inverse kinematics. We first verify that the well established trajectory following method can precisely solve the two optimization problems, but is computation intensive. To reduce the computation time, a sequential approach that combines the sequential quadratic programming and iterative Newton-Raphson algorithm is developed. A 4-DOF Fujitsu Hoap-1 humanoid robot arm is used as a prototype to validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization solutions.展开更多

The kinematic model was established with DH parameters, the inverse kinematics was solved. According to the forward and inverse kinematics equations, the robot kinematics was simulated in Matlab, the simulations indicate that the solution for inverse kinematics can satisfy the welding requirements well. As there are size errors, processing errors and welding deformation, the path of welding is forecasted according to the previous welding situation, and then, the path is taught at desired via-points, which plays an important role in submerged-arc welding.

By the intuitive expression of dual quaternion to the orientation of rigid body, the coordinate frames assigned to each joint are established all in the same orientation, which does not need to use the D-H procedure. The compact and simple form of kinematic equations, consisting of position equations and orientation equations, is also the consequence of dual quaternion calculations. The iterative process is basically of two steps which are related to solving the position equations and orientation equations correspondingly. First, assume an initial value of the iterative variable; then, the position equations can be solved because of the reduced number of unknown variables in the position equations and the orientation equations can be solved by applying the solution from the position equations, which obtains an updated value for the iterative variable; finally, repeat the procedure by using the updated iterative variable to the position equations till the prescribed accuracy is obtained. The method proposed has a clear geometric meaning, and the algorithm is simple and direct. Simulation for 100 poses of the end frame shows that the average running time of inverse kinematics calculation for each demanded pose of end-effector is 7.2 ms on an ordinary laptop, which is good enough for practical use. The iteration counts 2-4 cycles generally, which is a quick convergence. The method proposed here has been successfully used in the project of automating a hydraulic rig.展开更多

Therefore, a method of solving inverse kinematics equations for a cooperative welding robot with multiple manipulators based on neural networks was investigated. To build an effective Denavit-Hartenberg(DH)model for this robot, sample data was obtained considering the movement ranges of the robot joints.Based on back propagation(BP) and radial basis function(RBF) neural networks, 18 joint sub-spaces were mapped to the workspaces of three manipulators. The high-dimensional and nonlinear inverse kinematics problem was transformed into a multi-input and multi-output prediction model. The results revealed that the prediction model of solving the cooperative welding robot kinematics equations was quite accurate. Moreover, compared with the BP-based model, the calculation process of the RBF-based prediction model was slower, but yielded more accurate predictions.展开更多

The Steiner point was defined when the rotation number was different zero and it was called the Steiner normal when the rotation number was equal to zero. The fixed pole point was given with its components and its relation between Steiner point or Steiner normal was explained. The sagittal motion of a telescopic crane was considered as an example. This motion was described by a double hinge consisting of the fixed control panel of the telescopic crane and the moving arm of the telescopic crane.

By comparison, the iteration method is much better because of its high accuracy, fast speed and stabilization, and it does not require calculation of the pseudoinverse of the 2acobian. Thus, this control scheme is well suited for real-time im- plementation, which is essential if the end-effector trajectory is continuously modified based on sensor＇s feedback. Finally, using VC ＋ ＋ and Microsoft foundation classes （MFC） to achieve the main machine interface.

The problem herein is that of identifying a combination of joint angles to effectively position the end-effecter at a specified location in space. The reverse solution as presented in this paper is predicated on DH＇s （Denavit-Hartenberg＇s） technique for robot arm position analysis. The generalized solution for the 5-degrees of freedom DOF （degree of freedom） revolute joint variables which comprises 2-1inks and a spade-like 3-DOF end-effecter was obtained by solving a set of algebraic equations emerging from series of transformation matrices. The proposed solution herein has a high degree of accuracy and repeatability for workspace reachable domains where joint combination is analytic.展开更多

While the interpretation of traditional experiments in direct kinematics has to account for initial and final state interactions, experiments in inverse kinematics can overcome such limitations. We discuss results of an experiment at the BM@N setup at JINR using a <sup>12</sup>C beam at 48 GeV/c to study quasi-elastic scattering reactions, single proton distributions, and short-range correlated nucleon-nucleon pairs. The inverse kinematics allows for the direct measurement of the nucleon-nucleon pair center-of-mass motion and provides first experimental evidence for scale separation of such pairs. Based on these results, we will in the future study neutron-rich nuclei in inverse kinematics in the context of short-range correlations and neutron stars.展开更多

文摘The kinematic redundancy in a robot leads to an infinite number of solutions for inverse kinematics, which implies the possibility to select a 'best' solution according to an optimization criterion. In this paper, two optimization objective functions are proposed, aiming at either minimizing extra degrees of freedom (DOFs) or minimizing the total potential energy of a multilink redundant robot. Physical constraints of either equality or inequality types are taken into consideration in the objective functions. Since the closed-form solutions do not exist in general for highly nonlinear and constrained optimization problems, we adopt and develop two numerical methods, which are verified to be effective and precise in solving the two optimization problems associated with the redundant inverse kinematics. We first verify that the well established trajectory following method can precisely solve the two optimization problems, but is computation intensive. To reduce the computation time, a sequential approach that combines the sequential quadratic programming and iterative Newton-Raphson algorithm is developed. A 4-DOF Fujitsu Hoap-1 humanoid robot arm is used as a prototype to validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization solutions.

文摘An iterative method is introduced successfully to solve the inverse kinematics of a 6-DOF manipulator of a tunnel drilling rig based on dual quaternion, which is difficult to get the solution by Denavit-Hartenberg(D-H) based methods. By the intuitive expression of dual quaternion to the orientation of rigid body, the coordinate frames assigned to each joint are established all in the same orientation, which does not need to use the D-H procedure. The compact and simple form of kinematic equations, consisting of position equations and orientation equations, is also the consequence of dual quaternion calculations. The iterative process is basically of two steps which are related to solving the position equations and orientation equations correspondingly. First, assume an initial value of the iterative variable; then, the position equations can be solved because of the reduced number of unknown variables in the position equations and the orientation equations can be solved by applying the solution from the position equations, which obtains an updated value for the iterative variable; finally, repeat the procedure by using the updated iterative variable to the position equations till the prescribed accuracy is obtained. The method proposed has a clear geometric meaning, and the algorithm is simple and direct. Simulation for 100 poses of the end frame shows that the average running time of inverse kinematics calculation for each demanded pose of end-effector is 7.2 ms on an ordinary laptop, which is good enough for practical use. The iteration counts 2-4 cycles generally, which is a quick convergence. The method proposed here has been successfully used in the project of automating a hydraulic rig.

文摘A rail type mobile robot introduced in this paper is used to carry out automatic welding on the T, Y and K-joints in offshore platform jackets. This robotic system is composed of a mobile platform and a serial manipulator. The structure of manipulator was designed according to the mathematical modeling of single brace tubular joint ; some improvements of the robot mechanism were considered to improve the flexibility＂ of manipulator and increase the workspace. The inverse kinematics analysis was solved through two steps calculation. The collision avoidance strategy used in the K-joint automatic welding was discussed. Moreover, the simulation results were presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the robot mechanism used in tubular joint welding and the validity of the joint value calculation method.

文摘Neutrons have played a vital role in many nuclear physics fields.In some cases,the inverse kinematics of neutrons colliding with other nuclei are also worth studying.In this study,the inverse kinematics of thermal neutrons colliding with high-energy protons is simulated by using the Monte Carlo method.Thermal neutrons are taken as target particles,whereas protons are incident particles.The simulation implies that,after collision,the energy of the output neutron at 0°equals the energy of the incident proton.A possible application of the result is proposed that might yield single-energy neutrons.Some key parameters of the conceptual design were evaluated,demonstrating that the design may reach high-neutron-energy resolution.
文摘In this paper, the Steiner area formula and the polar moment of inertia were expressed during one-parameter closed planar homothetic inverse motions in complex plane. The Steiner point was defined when the rotation number was different zero and it was called the Steiner normal when the rotation number was equal to zero. The fixed pole point was given with its components and its relation between Steiner point or Steiner normal was explained. The sagittal motion of a telescopic crane was considered as an example. This motion was described by a double hinge consisting of the fixed control panel of the telescopic crane and the moving arm of the telescopic crane. The theoretical concepts and results were applied for this motion.

文摘：This paper uses a 7-degree-of-freedom （7-DOF） manipulator end-effector to research inverse kinematics solution, Three methods are used and compared, including fixing an angle method, the iteration method and the neutral network method. By comparison, the iteration method is much better because of its high accuracy, fast speed and stabilization, and it does not require calculation of the pseudoinverse of the 2acobian. Thus, this control scheme is well suited for real-time im- plementation, which is essential if the end-effector trajectory is continuously modified based on sensor＇s feedback. Finally, using VC ＋ ＋ and Microsoft foundation classes （MFC） to achieve the main machine interface. Through verification, the precision meets the requirements of general control system in real-time implementation.
文摘This paper presents some initial solutions to the problem of accuracy and repeatability of the arm position placement in applied kinematics by solving the inverse kinematics problem of a serial jointed manipulator whose forward kinematics solution was earlier presented to solve the position placement problem of a mobile manipulator for Lunar Oxygen production. The problem herein is that of identifying a combination of joint angles to effectively position the end-effecter at a specified location in space. The reverse solution as presented in this paper is predicated on DH＇s （Denavit-Hartenberg＇s） technique for robot arm position analysis. The generalized solution for the 5-degrees of freedom DOF （degree of freedom） revolute joint variables which comprises 2-1inks and a spade-like 3-DOF end-effecter was obtained by solving a set of algebraic equations emerging from series of transformation matrices. The proposed solution herein has a high degree of accuracy and repeatability for workspace reachable domains where joint combination is analytic.

文摘Proton knockout reactions are a widely used tool to study nuclear ground-state distributions. While the interpretation of traditional experiments in direct kinematics has to account for initial and final state interactions, experiments in inverse kinematics can overcome such limitations. We discuss results of an experiment at the BM@N setup at JINR using a <sup>12</sup>C beam at 48 GeV/c to study quasi-elastic scattering reactions, single proton distributions, and short-range correlated nucleon-nucleon pairs. The inverse kinematics allows for the direct measurement of the nucleon-nucleon pair center-of-mass motion and provides first experimental evidence for scale separation of such pairs. Based on these results, we will in the future study neutron-rich nuclei in inverse kinematics in the context of short-range correlations and neutron stars.

文摘In order to effectively derive the inverse kinematic solution of the Delta robot and realize actuator control a description of the linear graph principle for automatically generating kinematic equations in a mechanical system as well as the symbolic computation implementation of this procedure is reviewed and projected into the Delta robot. Based on the established linear graph representation the explicit symbolic expression of constraint equations and inverse kinematic solutions are obtained successfully using a symbolic computation engine Maple so that actuator control and trajectory tracking can be directly realized.Two practical motions the circular path and Adept motion are simulated for the validation of symbolic solutions respectively.Results indicate that the simulation satisfies the requirement of the quick motion within an acceptable threshold. Thus the precision of kinematic response can be confirmed and the correctness of inverse solution is verified.
