This article is about the position control of a binary hyper redundant manipulator, which is driven by pneumatic on-off actuators. The end platform of the binary hyper redundant manipulator bears a small fine tuning manipulator, which is a continuously actuated six-joint manipulator attached as a versatile error-compensation tool. It is employed to compensate especially the discretization errors. The position control aims to make the end-effector of the fine tuning manipulator track a specified sequence of successive poses as required by the task to be performed. This aim is achieved by solving the inverse kinematics problem of the binary hyper redundant manipulator, i.e. by determining the binary positions of the on-off actuators, so that the end platform of the binary hyper redundant manipulator enters the inverted working volume of the fine tuning manipulator for each specified target pose of the end effector. As to solve the inverse kinematics problem of the binary hyper redundant manipulator, three methods are presented. They are the plain spline fitting method, the extended spline fitting method, and the workspace filling method. The plain spline fitting method is based on forcing the actual backbone curve of the binary hyper redundant manipulator to approximate a spatial reference spline which is specified as the desired backbone curve. In the extended spline fitting method, the result found in the plain spline fitting method is improved by using a genetic algorithm. In the workspace filling method, the workspace of the binary hyper redundant manipulator is filled randomly with a sufficiently large finite number of discrete configurational samples. If it is desired to have a concentration on a particular region of the workspace, then that region is filled by using a genetic algorithm. After the filling stage, the sample closest to the desired configuration is determined by a suitable searching algorithm. The three methods are demonstrated and comparatively discussed by means of several examples.

The conceptual design of a spatial binary hyper redundant manipulator and its forward kinematics
Bayram, Atilla; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2012-01-01)
The hyper redundant manipulators (HRMs) have excessively many degrees of freedom. As a special but practicable subset of them, the binary hyper-redundant manipulators (BHRMs) use binary (on-off) actuators with only two stable states such as pneumatic cylinders and/or solenoids. This article describes the conceptual design of a spatial BHRM together with its forward kinematics. This BHRM consists of many modules with the same constructive characteristics. The modules increase in size from the tip to the base...
A simulink model for the induction machine with an inter-turn short circuit fault
Şahin, İlker; Bayazıt, Göksenin Hande; Keysan, Ozan (2020-08-23)
In this study, an analytical model for the induction machine (IM) with an inter-turn short circuit (ITSC) fault is developed based on the voltage-behind-reactance (VBR) approach. The main motivation is to provide a simulation tool that can be used for fault detection and condition monitoring research. The proposed simulation model is implemented in Simulink, and compared with the outcomes of both finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental studies. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed model...
The use of noise measurements in machining stability analysis
Özlü, E.; Özşahin, Orkun; Budak, E.; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (null; 2007-08-31)
Self-excited vibrations, namely chatter, is one of the most important problems in machining operations. Under certain conditions, the cutting system becomes unstable as a result of the dynamic interaction between the process and the structures. As a result of this dynamic interaction between the cutting tool and the work material, a high level noise is generated in addition to the very poor machined part surface quality. Chatter models used for the generation of the stability diagrams need the frequen...
A general treatment of singular Lagrangians with linear velocities
Baleanu, D; Guler, Y (2000-03-01)
The Hamilton-Jacobi treatment of singular systems with linear velocities is investigated. Since the rank of Hessian matrix is zero, all the generalized coordinates are independent parameters. Integrability conditions reduce the degrees of freedom. Path integral quantization is analyzed.
An Analytical Solution to the Stance Dynamics of Passive Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum with Damping
ANKARALI, M. M.; Arslan, O.; Saranlı, Uluç (2009-09-11)
The Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model has been established both as a very accurate descriptive tool as well as a good basis for the design and control of running robots. In particular, approximate analytic solutions to the otherwise nonintegrable dynamics of this model provide principled ways in which gait controllers can be built, yielding invaluable insight into their stability properties. However, most existing work on the SLIP model completely disregards the effects of damping, which often ca...
