The initial effect of the impact force patterns on the object for achieving stably grasping is dependent on starting of the movement of a robot hand by taking an optimal preshape. These impact force patterns generated from the changes of the momenta obtained from the fingers lead to motion tendencies of the object. Determining optimal preshape of hand is closely related with the continuum between the initial position of hand preshape and posture of the hand at the contact points on the object. In this paper, we propose a new model for determining continuity momentum of fingers landing on the object based on the fluid dynamics. The commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software package program, Fluent, is used to simulate the compressible fluid flows. The kinematic model of robot fingers and object geometry is created as a preprocessing of fluent. Various scenarios of simple hand preshaping have been applied to the simulation. The experimental results give an idea about how different preshape hand effects to detect the region of contacts while approaching onto an object.

Inertial parameter design of spatial mechanisms
Can, Fatih Cemal; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, the inertial parameters of a spatial mechanism are used in order to optimize various aspects of the dynamic behaviour of the mechanism (such as minimizing actuator torque/ force fluctuations, shaking force/moment balancing, etc.) while the effects of loads are considered as well. Here, inertial parameters refer to the mass, 6 elements of the inertia tensor and coordinates of the center of mass of the links. The concept of Force Fluctuation Number (FFN) is utilized to optimize the dynamic beh...
Motion Control of a Spatial Elastic Manipulator in the Presence of Measurement Noises
Kilicaslan, Sinan; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2021-07-01)
This paper presents a method for the end effector motion control of a spatial three-link robot having elastic second and third links including measurement noises. In the derivation of equations of motion, not to face with complex equations of motion, each link is modeled as though the links are not connected and the restrictions on the links due to connecting them by joints are written as constraint equations. After that the Lagrange multipliers are eliminated and the constraint equations at the acceleratio...
Momentum transfer continuum between preshape and grasping based on fluidics
Özyer, Barış; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
This dissertation propose a new fluidics based framework to determine a continuum between preshaping and grasping so as to appropriately preshape a multi-fingered robot hand for creating an optimal initialization of grasp. The continuum of a hand preshape closing upon an object that creates an initial object motion tendency of the object based on the impact moment patterns generated from the fingers is presented. These motion tendencies should then be suitable for the proper initiation of the grasping task....
Momentum Transfer from Preshape to Grasping
Ozyer, Baris; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-08-01)
A fully immersed object, suspended in water can be rotated from distance by a preshaped robot hand approaching and closing upon the object prior to contacting it. Momentum transfer from robot fingers closing into a grasp, to the fluid medium particles, and from these particles to the object surface generates the motion tendencies of that object in terms of rotational and translational displacements. In this paper, we propose the novel concept of a controller that determines either: 1) given initial position...
CATCHING CONTINUUM BETWEEN PRESHAPE AND GRASPING BASED ON FLUIDICS
Ozyer, Baris; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2010-07-24)
We propose a new fluidics based methodology to determine a continuum between preshaping and grasping so as to appropriately preshape a multifingered robot hand for creating an optimal initialization of grasp, with minimum energy loss towards task execution, upon landing on an object. In this paper, we investigate the effects of impact forces and momentum transfer between different hand preshapes landing on an object. Momentum transfer parameters lead to modification of object orientation and position at the...
