A kinematic structure-based classification and compact kinematic equations for six-dof industrial robotic manipulators

2001-07-01
A kinematic structure-based classification of six degree-of-freedom industrial robotic manipulators is introduced, and a complete set of compact kinematic equations is given according to this classification. For the classification, 100 industrial robots are surveyed. These robots are first classified into main groups and then into subgroups under each main group, and nine kinematic main groups, each having 1-10 subgroups are obtained. The main groups are based on the end-effector rotation matrices and characterized by the twist angles. On the other hand, the subgroups are based on the wrist point positions and characterized by the link lengths and offsets. Compact kinematic equations are derived for all main groups and subgroups by utilizing the properties of exponential rotation matrices, and simplification tools derived by using these properties. Most of these simplified compact equations can be solved analytically and the remaining few of them can be solved semi-analytically through a single univariate equation. In these solutions, the singularities and the multiple configurations of the manipulators can be determined easily. Using these solutions, the inverse kinematics can also be computerized by means of short and fast algorithms.

AN EMPIRICAL TORQUE NOISE AND SPIN-UP MODEL FOR ACCRETION-POWERED X-RAY PULSARS
Baykal, Altan (1993-01-01)
By using the first order autoregressive time series model, rotation histories of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars are modeled yielding a torque noise strength S(in) and the average secular spin-up term [OMEGA]. We find that Her X-1, Cen X-3, A0535 + 26, and Vela X-1 can be modeled with white torque-noise leading to random walks in pulse frequency; for the remaining sources the random walk model is also acceptable. Using this model we calculate the noise strengths in the frequency derivative and estimate the ...
A NEW CLASS OF EMPIRICAL MANY-BODY POTENTIAL-ENERGY FUNCTIONS FOR BULK AND CLUSTER PROPERTIES
Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 1992-06-01)
A new empirical many-body potential energy function (PEF) is proposed, which comprices two- and three-body atomic interactions. The two-body potential is a kind of hybrid function and the three-body potential is formed by additive and nonadditive functions. The additive part is expressed in terms of two-body interactions, and the nonadditive part is expressed as triple-dipole function. The PEF satisfies bulk cohesive energy, bulk stability condition, and bulk modulus. The PEF is parameterized for gold, silv...

An advanced boundary element method (BEM) implementation for the forward problem of electromagnetic source imaging
Akahn-Acar, Z; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2004-11-07)
The forward problem of electromagnetic source imaging has two components: a numerical model to solve the related integral equations and a model of the head geometry. This study is on the boundary element method (BEM) implementation for numerical solutions and realistic head modelling. The use of second-order (quadratic) isoparametric elements and the recursive integration technique increase the accuracy in the solutions. Two new formulations are developed for the calculation of the transfer matrices to obta...
A COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF VARIATIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR SCHRODINGER-EQUATIONS - POINTWISE QUALITY CRITERIA
YURTSEVER, E (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 1988-08-01)
Different variational schemes for solving the Schrodinger equation are tested for the model potential of Kratzer-Fues. Wavefunctions are analyzed in terms of their global (expectation values) and local properties which are expressed as functions of coordinates. The Rayleigh-Ritz variation almost uniformly produces the most accurate expectation values. However the point properties show qualitatively different behaviour for different regions of the coordinate space. To define the local quality, a set of crite...
