In order to control the motion of loads, nonlinear state feed forward control algorithm in the tendon length coordinate was used. Considering the system redundancy and actuation behavior, algorithms of optimal tension distribution and forward kinematics were designed. Then, the simulation experiments of motion control were implemented. The results demonstrate that the proposed TBPM translation system performs robust capacities. It can transfer the loads 1 m away within 1.5 s. With further optimization, the translation duration can be further reduced to be about 1 s and the optimized translation is followed with 43.59 m/s2 maximum acceleration. The translation errors at the aim position remain below 0.4 mm.展开更多

Through the establishments of a kinematic model, a catenary model and a cable-force characteristics model, a basic method is presented based on preventing the pseudo-drag problem of a flexible cable and realizing the hybrid position/force control for a six-cable driven parallel manipulator, and a hybrid position/force control system is developed. Some specific experiments in two typical velocities for astronomical observations are carried out. Experimental results show that the tracking accuracy is related to the speed of the movement. The desired tracking accuracy of the support system is achieved through an effective hybrid position/force control strategy, the cable forces are controlled effectively, and the pseudo-drag problem of flexible cable is solved. This study establishes the foundation of achieving the harmonious movement of the six-cable driven parallel manipulator, A-B rotating platform and the Stewart fine tuninz olatform.展开更多

The system is composed of a machine vision device, a delta robot and a linear stage, and the concerned hardware, software and working methods were developed completely and verified successfully. During the phase of machine vision, the image of object was captured by camera, and then the process of smoothing filter, threshold algorithm and edge detection, was applied so as to obtain the edges of image. Finally, DV-GHT (Displacement Vector Generalized Hough Transformation) algorithm was used to recognize the center of multiple and arbitrary 2-D shapes objects. After the center of objects was recognized, the objects were delivered to the workspace of a delta robot by a motorized stage. Through the coordinate transformation between the camera and the robot system, the information of center can be converted to control commands for every working motors. Following, the delta robot picks up objects to the specified position sequentially by the trajectory planning and tracking controls. The software of C++/CLI is used to achieve the phase of motion controls and the program of DV-GHT is used to detect and conduct the positions for four different characteristics of the objects simultaneously so as to indicate the delta robot to classify the objects successfully.展开更多
