Modular modeling of parallel mechanisms with actuation redundancy
摘要
Among the advantages of redundantly actuated mechanisms, one can mention the higher operational robustness, the feasibility of reduced power actuators and the load capacity increase in the mechanism. Focusing on such category of mechanism, the current work proposes a process for modeling and selecting the available actuation modes in accordance with adequate dynamic criteria. Here the modular modeling methodology is employed to formulate the dynamic equations for closed-loop redundantly actuated mechanisms of any topology that can operate even in the 2D- or 3D-spaces. Additionally, this general development is applied to generate dynamic models of the parallel mechanism
