The Lagrangian approach was employed in deriving the dynamic model of a two-DOF manipulator. The flexibility of links and joints was taken into account in the mechanical structure dimensions optimization and reducers selection, in which Timoshenko model was used to discretize the hollow links. Two criteria, i.e. maximization of fundamental frequency and minimization of self-mass/load ratio, were utilized to optimize the manipulators. The NSGA-II (fast elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithms) was employed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. How the joints flexibility affects the manipulators design was analyzed and shown in the numerical analysis example. The results indicate that simultaneous consideration of the joints and the links flexibility is very necessary for manipulators optimal design. Finally, several optimal combinations were provided. The effectiveness of the optimization method was proved by comparing with ADAMS simulation results. The self-mass/load ratio error of the two methods is within 10%. The maximum error of the natural frequency by the two methods is 23.74%. The method proposed in this work provides a fast and effective pathway for manipulator design and reducers selection.展开更多

Theoretical analysis prove the stability of the closed-loop overall system and the tracking error converges to a prescribed neighborhood asymptotically. The effectiveness and dynamic tracking performance of the proposed control strategy is validated via simulation and experimental results.展开更多

Different from the decentralized control strategy in multi-manipulator cooperation, the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme can be applied to series constrained reconfigurable manipulators. By multiplying each row of Jacobian matrix in the dynamics by contact force vector, the converted joint torque is obtained. Furthermore, using desired information of other joints instead of their actual values, the dynamics can be represented as a set of interconnected subsystems by model decomposition technique. An adaptive neural network controller is introduced to approximate the unknown dynamics of subsystem. The interconnection and the whole error term are removed by employing an adaptive sliding mode term. And then, the Lyapunov stability theory guarantees the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, two reconfigurable manipulators with different configurations are employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme.展开更多

Each lim...A novel high-speed parallel kinematic machine （PKM） named Delta-S parallel manipulator is proposed, which consists of a fixed base connected to a moving platform through three limbs with identical topology. Each limb is composed of one driving ann and one follower arm, herein, the latter includes two strings and one middle rod, all located in a same plane. Compared with similar manipulators with uniform parameters, the novel and unique topology as well as the addition of two strings of Delta-S manipulator can remove the clearance of the spherical joints, reduce the inertial load of components further, improve the positioning accuracy and dynamic performance, and so on. In order to formulate the kineto-static model of Delta-S manipulator, the kineto-static analyses and models of the driving arm, the generalized follower and the moving platform can be carried out by the D＇ALEMBERT principle. For the sake of obtaining the force analytic results of strings, the deformation compatibility condition of strings and the middle rod are determined. Furthermore, in virtue of the assumption of small deformation and the linear superposition principle, the minimal pre-tightening force of the strings is calculated. The main results include that the loads of the strings and the middle rod must be larger than ＂zero＂ and the pre-tightening force over the workspace must be larger than the minimal pre-tightening force at any time within the workspace, which lay the foundation for the dynamic analysis and the prototype manufacture of the Delta-S manipulator.展开更多

Only one matrix, termed drive Jacobian, was needed in the modeling of interaction between hydraulic circuit and flexible manipulator mechanism. Furthermore, a new robust controller based on mentioned above dynamic model was also considered to regulate both flexural vibrations and rigid body motion. The proposed controller combined sliding mode and backstepping techniques to deal with the nonlinear system with uncertainties. The sliding mode control was used to achieve an asymptotic joint angle and vibration regulation by providing a virtual force while the backstepping technique was used to regulate the spool position of a hydraulic valve to provide the required control force. Simulation results are presented to show the stabilizing effect and robustness of this control strategy.展开更多
文摘OBJECTIVE To investigate the intervention effects of tissue-bone homeostasis manipulation(TBHM)on peripatellar biomechanical parameters and knee joint function in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)patients.METHODS Sixty patients with KOA(Kellgren-Lawrence gradeⅡ-Ⅲ)were recruited from the Acupuncture-Moxibustion Rehabilitation Department,Anhui University of Chinese Medicine between October 2024 and May 2025.Participants were randomized into a TBHM group(n=30)or a transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation(TENS)group(n=30).Using two-way repeated measures ANOVA,biomechanical indicators,including rectus femoris tension,vastus medialis tension,vastus lateralis tension,patellar ligament tension,lateral patellar displacement(LPD),medial patellar displacement(MPD),normalized patellar mobility(LPD/patellar width[PW],MPD/PW),knee flexion range of motion,and functional indicators,including KOOS subscales,time up and go test(TUGT),were compared between groups at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention.RESULTS After intervention,all biomechanical and knee joint function indicators in the TBHM group were significantly improved(P<0.05,P<0.01),while only the vastus medialis tension,TUGT and KOOS Pain,ADL and QoL scores in the control group were significantly improved(P<0.01).The improvement amplitudes of biomechanical indicators in the TBHM group,including rectus femoris tension,vastus lateralis tension,patellar ligament tension,MPD/PW,LPD/PW and knee flexion range of motion were better than those in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).In the functional evaluation,the interaction effects of the TBHM group in all dimensions of the KOOS score and TUGT were statistically significant(P<0.05,P<0.01).Post-hoc simple effect analysis confirmed that there were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups after intervention(P<0.05),and all indicators showed a significant main effect of time(P<0.01),suggesting that the intervention measures had continuous and cumulative curative effects.CONCLUSION TBHM effectively improves joint function and quality of life in KOA patients by restoring dynamic equilibrium in soft tissue tension and patellar mobility,ultimately achieving the therapeutic goal of concurrent tissue-bone management.

How the joints flexibility affects the manipulators design was analyzed and shown in the numerical analysis example. The results indicate that simultaneous consideration of the joints and the links flexibility is very necessary for manipulators optimal design. Finally, several optimal combinations were provided. The effectiveness of the optimization method was proved by comparing with ADAMS simulation results. The self-mass/load ratio error of the two methods is within 10%. The maximum error of the natural frequency by the two methods is 23.74%. The method proposed in this work provides a fast and effective pathway for manipulator design and reducers selection.

A standard state space model for the ammunition manipulator electro-hydraulic system(AMEHS) with inherent nonlinearities and uncertainties considered was established. To simultaneously suppress the violation of tracking error constraints and the complexity of differential explosion, a barrier Lyapunov functionsbased dynamic surface control(BLF-DSC) method was proposed for the position tracking control of the ammunition manipulator. Theoretical analysis prove the stability of the closed-loop overall system and the tracking error converges to a prescribed neighborhood asymptotically. The effectiveness and dynamic tracking performance of the proposed control strategy is validated via simulation and experimental results.

文摘To deploy sensor nodes over the area of interest,a scheme,named node scattering manipulation,was proposed.It adopted the following method:during node scattering,the initial states of every node,including the velocity and direction,were manipulated so that it would land in a region with a certain probability;every sensor was relocated in order to improve the coverage and connectivity.Simultaneously,to easily analyze the process of scattering sensors,a trajectory model was also proposed.Integrating node scattering manipulation with trajectory model,the node deployment in wireless sensor network was thoroughly renovated,that is,this scheme can scatter sensors.In practice,the scheme was operable compared with the previous achievements.The simulation results demonstrate the superiority and feasibility of the scheme,and also show that the energy consumption for sensors relocation is reduced.

文摘A decentralized adaptive neural network sliding mode position/force control scheme is proposed for constrained reconfigurable manipulators. Different from the decentralized control strategy in multi-manipulator cooperation, the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme can be applied to series constrained reconfigurable manipulators. By multiplying each row of Jacobian matrix in the dynamics by contact force vector, the converted joint torque is obtained. Furthermore, using desired information of other joints instead of their actual values, the dynamics can be represented as a set of interconnected subsystems by model decomposition technique. An adaptive neural network controller is introduced to approximate the unknown dynamics of subsystem. The interconnection and the whole error term are removed by employing an adaptive sliding mode term. And then, the Lyapunov stability theory guarantees the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, two reconfigurable manipulators with different configurations are employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme.

文摘For the position tracking control of hydraulic manipulators,a novel method of time delay control(TDC) with continuous nonsingular terminal sliding mode(CNTSM) was proposed in this work.Complex dynamics of the hydraulic manipulator is approximately canceled by time delay estimation(TDE),which means the proposed method is model-free and no prior knowledge of the dynamics is required.Moreover,the CNTSM term with a fast-TSM-type reaching law ensures fast convergence and high-precision tracking control performance under heavy lumped uncertainties.Despite its considerable robustness against lumped uncertainties,the proposed control scheme is continuous and chattering-free and no pressure sensors are required in practical applications.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that faster and higher-precision position tracking performance is achieved compared with the traditional CNTSM-based TDC method using boundary layers.
文摘Because of its ease of implementation,a linear PID controller is generally used to control robotic manipulators.Linear controllers cannot effectively cope with uncertainties and variations in the parameters;therefore,nonlinear controllers with robust performance which can cope with these are recommended.The sliding mode control(SMC)is a robust state feedback control method for nonlinear systems that,in addition having a simple design,efficiently overcomes uncertainties and disturbances in the system.It also has a very fast transient response that is desirable when controlling robotic manipulators.The most critical drawback to SMC is chattering in the control input signal.To solve this problem,in this study,SMC is used with a boundary layer(SMCBL)to eliminate the chattering and improve the performance of the system.The proposed SMCBL was compared with inverse dynamic control(IDC),a conventional nonlinear control method.The kinematic and dynamic equations of the IRB-120 robot manipulator were initially extracted completely and accurately,and then the control of the robot manipulator using SMC was evaluated.For validation,the proposed control method was implemented on a 6-DOF IRB-120 robot manipulator in the presence of uncertainties.The results were simulated,tested,and compared in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.To further validate our work,the results were tested and confirmed experimentally on an actual IRB-120 robot manipulator.
文摘Trial mountain climbing algorithm to solve the inverse kinematics problem of redundant manipulator is introduced, and a method of describing a numeral with a special numeration system is given to define the changed step of the trail mountain climbing algorithm. The results show that a likelihood solution can be found quickly in the infinite groups of likelihood solutions within the limited search times, and need not calculate the anti trigonometric function and the inverse matrix. In addition, this algorithm has many good qualities such as concise algorithm, tiny computation, fast convergence velocity, good stability and extensive adaptability.

文摘A novel high-speed parallel kinematic machine （PKM） named Delta-S parallel manipulator is proposed, which consists of a fixed base connected to a moving platform through three limbs with identical topology. Each limb is composed of one driving ann and one follower arm, herein, the latter includes two strings and one middle rod, all located in a same plane. Compared with similar manipulators with uniform parameters, the novel and unique topology as well as the addition of two strings of Delta-S manipulator can remove the clearance of the spherical joints, reduce the inertial load of components further, improve the positioning accuracy and dynamic performance, and so on. In order to formulate the kineto-static model of Delta-S manipulator, the kineto-static analyses and models of the driving arm, the generalized follower and the moving platform can be carried out by the D＇ALEMBERT principle. For the sake of obtaining the force analytic results of strings, the deformation compatibility condition of strings and the middle rod are determined. Furthermore, in virtue of the assumption of small deformation and the linear superposition principle, the minimal pre-tightening force of the strings is calculated. The main results include that the loads of the strings and the middle rod must be larger than ＂zero＂ and the pre-tightening force over the workspace must be larger than the minimal pre-tightening force at any time within the workspace, which lay the foundation for the dynamic analysis and the prototype manufacture of the Delta-S manipulator.
文摘A mathematical model was developed combining the dynamics of an Euler-Bernoulli beam, described by the assumed-mode method and hydraulic circuit dynamics. Only one matrix, termed drive Jacobian, was needed in the modeling of interaction between hydraulic circuit and flexible manipulator mechanism. Furthermore, a new robust controller based on mentioned above dynamic model was also considered to regulate both flexural vibrations and rigid body motion. The proposed controller combined sliding mode and backstepping techniques to deal with the nonlinear system with uncertainties. The sliding mode control was used to achieve an asymptotic joint angle and vibration regulation by providing a virtual force while the backstepping technique was used to regulate the spool position of a hydraulic valve to provide the required control force. Simulation results are presented to show the stabilizing effect and robustness of this control strategy.
