  1. MASTER THESIS DEVELOPMENT OF A CAD/CAE TOOL – ROBOKINE (ROBOtic KINEmatics)–FOR WORKSPACE, INVERSE KINEMATICS AND TRAJECTORY PLANNING BY MUKUND V. NARASIMHAN SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: Dr. T.C.

  2. ROBOT • A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts or tools through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks. • Robots were used mostly in the automobile industry but now a days they can be seen in hospitals, laboratories, energy plants, warehouses etc. • By 2003 there will be nearly 900,000 multi-purpose robots in use worldwide compared with 750,000 that are currently available. According to “World Robotics 2000”, a survey published by the united nations economic commission for Europe in co-operation with the international federation of robotics.

  3. ezi Zi+1 ai Zi-1 bi Zi Oi-1 Oi+1 ri exi Xi+1 hi i i-1 Oi Xi qi ex(i-1) REVIEW OF C-B NOTATION • This notation is based on the homogeneous cylindrical coordinates and bryant angles transformations matrices and hence termed c-b notation. • The homogeneous transformation matrix is given by • Ti (i, hi, ri, i, i)=Tci(i, hi, ri) Tbi(i, i)

  4. CYLINDRICAL COORDINATES Tc(, h, r)= Tr(Z, ) Tt(Z, h) Tt(X, r) = Tr(Z, ) represents rotation  about Z-axis Tt(Z, h) represents translation h along Z-axis Tt(X, r) represents translation r along X-axis

  5. BRYANT ANGLES CONVENTION Tb(, , ) = Tr(X, ) Tr(Y, ) Tr(Z, ) = Tr(X, ) represents rotation about X-axis Tr(Y, ) represents rotation about Y-axis Tr(Z, ) represents rotation about Z-axis

  6. HOMOGENEOUS SHAPE MATRIX T(, h, r, , ) = Tc(, h, r) Tb(, , 0) = Y Z Y Z X h = l r = 0  = 90  = 0 l l Y X X Z h = 0 r = l  = 90  = 0 Z Y X

  7. ROBOKINE • Written in java and java3d. • Java used for generating the homogeneous matrices • Java3d for generating 3-dimensional features and simulations. • Contains 18 classes, 350+ methods and numerous variables • Advanced features include • Automatic C-B notation table generation (24 X 24 X 2) • Workspace generation (solid and wire frame modes) • Dynamic slice of the workspace in real time • Single slice of the workspace • Solving inverse kinematic problems • Trajectory planning

  8. FEATURE 1 DISPLACEMENT ANALYSIS AND WORKSPACE GENERATION • Generate workspace profiles for even 3-dimensional robots and also for robots which does not have adjacent axes parallel or perpendicular to each other. • Can validate the generated profiles with the use of “Dials”. • Kinematic analysis consists of position or displacement, velocity and acceleration analyses. • The workspace / work volume of a robotic manipulator is defined as the set of all 3-dimensional points that can be accessed by the manipulator. • One of the design criteria for design of robots. • Study of robotic workspaces is important in arranging the associated flexible manufacturing cell of a robot and assessing its efficiency in a manufacturing line.

  9. DISPLACEMENT ANALYSIS The general homogeneous characteristic matrix, ti, for different kinematic lower pairs are given by Ti = The position analysis of the end effector or manipulator can be obtained from this resultant matrix h given below H = Where D is direction cosine matrix and P is position vector and these specify the orientation and position respectively.

  10. FEATURE 2 VISUALIZATION BASED INVERSE KINEMATICS SOLVER • A graphical, visualization based technique is developed to solve inverse kinematic problems without resorting to the numerical procedures. • Given the target point, finding the values of the joint parameters to reach that desired point. • The difficulty in solving inverse kinematic problems is because of its non-linear nature. the difficulties associated with this non-linearity are • Multiple to infinite solutions • No solutions because of divergence • The convergent set of solutions obtained may not be a desirable solution to the problem

  11. FEATURE 3 VISUALIZATION BASED TRAJECTORY PLANNER • A visualization based trajectory planner is developed to accomplish this task. • Drastic reduction in time for planning trajectories and ease of use. • Obstacle avoidance. • Robots can be pre-programmed in either point-to-point mode or continuous path mode. • Point-to-point mode is used for tasks such as spot welding, inspection and moving parts. • Continuous path mode is used for tasks such as spray painting and arc welding.

  19. LIMITATIONS • The dials take in integer values • The orientations of the links have to be either horizontal and vertical while sketching the links at home position • Range of the input parameters of the joints should pass through zero or contain zero • If one of the joints in the configuration is helical other than the base then the workspace is not generated • Workspaces generated in certain cases may not be 100% accurate because of the following reasons • 1) Joints with no range of motion • 2) Algorithm considers maximum reach position when all the links are set to zero which may not be the case in certain configurations • Workspace generated is based on the projection of the profile on the sagittal plane

  20. The results and plots generated can be saved nor printed • The inputs have to be provided each time the application is started • Software limitations • Hardware limitations FUTURE WORK • Velocity and acceleration spaces • Dynamic analysis • Closed chain and combined open and closed chain analyses
