Effect Of A Robot's Geometrical Parameters On Its Optimal Dynamic Performance, M. Yousef Ibrahim, Christopher D. Cook, A K. Tieu Aug 2012

Effect Of A Robot's Geometrical Parameters On Its Optimal Dynamic Performance, M. Yousef Ibrahim, Christopher D. Cook, A K. Tieu

Christopher Cook

This paper presents a study that was conducted at Monash University College - Gippsland on the effect of a robot’s geometrical parameters on its dynamic performance. This research was undertaken in pursuit of an optimal dynamic performance of industrial robots. In this study an indicator was established to quantitatively measure the dynamic performance of a robot arm with respect to changes in the geometrical parameters. Since the dynamic behaviour of a robot’s arm is largely dependent on its inertia terms; the performance indicator was based on the Logarithmic function of the sensitivity of the inertia matrix’s eigenvalues to changes in …

Dynamics Characteristics Of A Scara Robot Subject To Nc2 Velocity Trajectories With Different Payloads, M Ibrahim, Christopher Cook Aug 2012

Dynamics Characteristics Of A Scara Robot Subject To Nc2 Velocity Trajectories With Different Payloads, M Ibrahim, Christopher Cook

Christopher Cook

This paper presents a computer study that was conducted on the dynamics of arobot of aSCARA geometrical configuration. All links of this robot were moving in NC2 (Numerical Control 2) velocitytrajectories. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of payload variation on the gravitational (potential) as well as inertial and centripetal/coriolis (kinetic) forces. The results of these effects are discussed. All the simulation software was written in extended ANSI FORTRAN 77 and run on an HP 9000/550 computer using the UNIX operating system.

Dynamic Behaviour Of A Scara Robot With Links Subjected To Different Velocity Trajectories, Christopher Cook, M Ibrahim, A Tieu Aug 2012

Dynamic Behaviour Of A Scara Robot With Links Subjected To Different Velocity Trajectories, Christopher Cook, M Ibrahim, A Tieu

Christopher Cook

The dynamics of a mechanical manipulator have the inherent characteristics of being highly non-linear and strongly coupled due to the interaction of the inertial, centripetal, coriolis and gravitational forces. These characteristics produce difficulties in predicting the dynamic behaviour of a given manipulator's structure. These interactive forces depend largely on the geometrical configuration and operational conditions of a manipulator. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the dynamics behaviour under different conditions in order to obtain an optimal design. This paper presents a study of the dynamics behaviour of a robot's arm with particular reference to the mechanical manipulator being designed by …
