Study and Analysis of Design Optimization and Synthesis of Robotic ARM

Profile image of Ijaems  Journal

— A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous. In this thesis, design optimization strategies and synthesis for robotic arm are studied. In the design process, novel optimization methods have been developed to reduce the mass of the whole robotic arm. The optimization of the robotic arm is conducted at three different levels, with the main objective to minimize the robot mass. At the first level, only the drive-train of the robotic arm is optimized. The design process of a robotic arm is decomposed into selection of components for the drive-train to reduce the weight At the second level, kinematic data is combined with the drive-train in the optimization. For this purpose, a dynamic model of the robot is required. Constraints are formulated on the motors, gearboxes and kinematic performance At the third level, a systematic optimization approach is developed, which contains design variables of structural dimensions, geometric dimensions and drive-train composes. Constraints are formulated on the stiffness and deformation. The stiffness and deformation of the arm are calculated through FEA simulation. The main objective of the thesis is to design optimization and synthesis analysis of robotic arm. The corresponding deflections, stresses and strains for that load will be find out by suing the method of finite element analysis. Keywords— robotic arm, inverse kinematics, dynamics, Jacobian method, motor selection and drive train optimization.

Humans have always been fascinated with the concept of artificial life and the construction of machines that look and behave like people. As the field of robotics evolves, it demands continuous development of successful systems with high-performance characteristics for practical applications. Advanced Mechanics in Robotic Systems illustrates original and ambitious mechanical designs and techniques for developing new robot prototypes with successful mechanical operational skills. Case studies are focused on projects in mechatronics that have high growth expectations: humanoid robots, robotics hands, mobile robots, parallel manipulators, and human-centred robots. A good control strategy requires good mechanical design, so a chapter has also been devoted to the description of suitable methods for control architecture design. Readers of Advanced Mechanics in Robotic Systems will discover novel designs for relevant applications in robotic fields, that will be of particular interest to ac...

A humanoid robotics is a new challenging field. To co-operate with human beings, humanoid robots not only have to feature human like form and structure, but more importantly, they must prepared human like behavior regarding the motion, communication and intelligence. The model number of this beginner is ASR K-250. This paper we consider the mechanism and mechanical structure of ASR K-250 (Beginner) and its implementation.

— The project is intended to cultivate a robotic vehicle that can sense metals ahead of it on its path similar to detecting land mines. The robot is controlled by a remote using RF technology. It consists of a metal detector circuit interfaced to the control unit that alarms the user behind it about a doubted land mine ahead. An 8051 series of microcontroller is used for the preferred operation. For controlling the movement of robot either to forward, backward & right or left commands are sent to the receiver by using push buttons of the transmitter. At the receiving end two motors are interfaced to the microcontroller where they are used for the movement of the vehicle. The RF transmitter acts as a RF remote control that has the advantage of sufficient range (up to 200 meters) with proper antenna, while the receiver decodes before serving it to another microcontroller to drive DC motors via motor driver IC for necessary work. A metal detector circuit is attached on the robot body and its operation is carried out automatically on sensing any metal underneath. The instant the robot senses this metal it produces an alarm sound through buzzer. This is to aware the operator of a probable metal (eg: land mine) ahead on its path. Further the project can be enhanced by mounting a wireless camera on the robot so that the operator can govern the movement of the robot remotely by observing it on a screen.

— The power transmission system is the system which causes movement of vehicles by transferring the torque produced by the engines to the wheels after some modifications. The transfer and modification system of vehicles is called as power transmission system. The power transmission system of vehicles consists of several components which encounter unfortunate failures. Propeller shaft and the universal joints form the important links that help in transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. In this study, analysis is being performed on the universal joint yoke and the propeller shaft. In the universal joint yoke, certain modifications are made in the existing geometry and analyzed for the identical loading and boundary conditions as in the reference paper from which the problem has been taken. It was observed that from the static analysis that the roots of the splines are the areas of high stress concentration. The fatigue analysis revels that the drive shaft fails in the region of high stress concentration as expected. In this project the propeller shaft of TATA 1210 was investigated for failures. Considering the system, torque acting on a shaft used to calculate the Stress analysis by using FEA and the results were compared with the calculated values. The stress in the shaft was exceeding the endurance limit causing failure in shaft, the shaft may have failed prematurely due to fatigue loads before the average life of truck. Thus it was important to redesign the shaft so that the induced stress is less than the endurance limit.

Robotics‎ can‎ play‎ a‎ significant‎ role‎ to‎ increase‎ efficiency‎ and‎ lighten‎ the‎ farmer's‎ load.‎ Despite‎ challenges in the agricultural robotic designs, robots are capable of performing various tasks and changing themselves accordingly, based on specific conditions. To address modern problems in the agricultural field, an agricultural robot is one of the key technologies. Although agricultural robotic is still in the development stage, these particular robots have a bright future ahead. This paper proposes a new 5DOF articulated robotic arm design that would become a solution for heavy crop harvesting like pumpkin and cabbage ‎ ‎. The main design process of the device was conceived using 6 stages of Shigley design process. All components were designed, assembled and analyzed by using Solidworks 2014 in compliance with JIS standards. The parts of the system that had dynamic nature were analyzed manually using standard mechanical formulas. Calculations of the workspace, required joint torque, and coordination of mass center position were developed using standard machine design methods. Denavit-Hartenberg method was used to calculate forward and reverse kinematics. To resolve the torque reduction, components were designed by different material and mass center and were compared together. Results showed that total torque in Joints number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were 6.15, 257.35, 103.4, 20.2 and 0.1 í µí°í µí°. í µí°¦í µí°¦ respectively with a rotational speed range of 15 ~ 60 rpm. Changes in the linkage material and servo motor location improved 29.7% ~ 47.7% and 29.7% ~68.9% of the total required torque for each joint. The maximum distance covered by the arm was 1640 mm from the í µí°‰í µí°‰ í µí¿í µí¿ and 1830 mm from the attachment point. According to the feedback received from a reverse kinematics equation algorithm, the fundamental operation of the robot arm had an optimal performance.
