Robustness Study of Generic and Non-Generic 3R Positioning Manipulators. S. Caro, Ph. Wenger,  F. Bennis. “Problems of Mechanics”, Tbilisi, 2006, ¹ 1(22), pp. 9-23, (Engl.).

This paper presents a robustness study of 3R manipulators and aims at answering the following question: are generic manipulators more robust than their non-generic manipulators? We exploit several properties specific to 3R manipulators such as singularities, cuspidality, homotopy classes, and path feasibility, in order to find some correlations between genericity and robustness concepts. It turns out that the farther a manipulator is from non-generic ones, the more robust it is with respect to homotopy class and number of cusps. Besides, we state that the proximity of a manipulator to non-generic frontiers may severely affect its robustness with respect to path-feasibility. Finally, we notice that the dexterity and the accuracy of 3R manipulators do not depend on genericity. 27 ill. Bibl. 17. Engl.; summ. in Russ.

 

Performance Indices For Kinematically Redundant Parallel Planar Manipulators. O.A. Gómez, Ph. Wenger, A. Pámanes. “Problems of Mechanics”, Tbilisi, 2006, ¹ 1(22), pp. 24-40, (Engl.).

This paper investigates the problem of defining a consistent kinetostatic performance index for the optimal kinematic inversion of a class of planar 3-DOF parallel manipulators. The condition number of the Jacobian matrix is known to be an interesting index. But since the Jacobian matrix is dimensionally inhomogeneous, a normalizing length must be used. This paper proposes two distinct kinetostatic indices. The first one is defined as the reciprocal of the condition number of the Jacobian matrix normalized with a convenient characteristic length. The second index is defined by a geometric interpretation of the “distance” to singularity. The two indices are compared and applied to the kinematic inversion in the presence of redundancy. 23 ill.

A  spinor method of solution of manipulators’ inverse kinematics problem. A. Milnikov, H. Onal, C. Erguven, I. Rodonaia. “Problems of Mechanics”, Tbilisi, 2006, ¹ 1(22), pp. 41-48, (Engl.).

A new method and algorithm of solution of multijoints spherical manipulators inverse kinematic problem was created. The method is based on the principally new approach spinor representation of the spatial generalized rotations. One of the advantages of the method is that it allows elaborating formulation of technological tasks for manipulators in terms of Cartesian coordinates instead of traditional angles’ terms. Besides the method allows using only one (absolute) coordinate system and it does not require a set of different (relative) coordinate systems. It provides easy, reliable and efficient way of solution of inverse kinematics problem of multijoints spherical manipulators. 2 ill. Bibl. 4. Engl.; summ. in Russ.

Finally, a numerical example is given about forward and reverse kinematic problems of spherical five-bar linkage with one sliding pair. In addition, the three-dimensional graphical representations of different kinds of spherical chains are illustrated.

In the article we consider derivation of generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) by the method of using gravitational error due to spacetime curvature. We explicitly show that this method can work only in 4- dimensional spacetime. In the case of spacetimes with extra dimensions gravitational error due to curvature is small as compared with the inevitable error of order of the size of clock used in measurement.  We also show that correctly derived fluctuations of spacetime satisfy the holographic principle in any spacetime with extra dimensions. In this context the ADD braneworld model is also considered. Bibl. 5. Engl.; summ. in Russ.
