Inverse and Forward Kinematics and CAD-Based Simulation of a 5-DOF Delta-Type Parallel Robot with Actuation Redundancy

This article introduces a novel modification of a Delta-type parallel robot. The robot has five degrees of freedom and provides its end-effector with a 3T2R motion pattern (three translational and two rotational degrees of freedom). The fifth degree of freedom (rotation) is kinematically decoupled f...

description This article introduces a novel modification of a Delta-type parallel robot. The robot has five degrees of freedom and provides its end-effector with a 3T2R motion pattern (three translational and two rotational degrees of freedom). The fifth degree of freedom (rotation) is kinematically decoupled from the other four motions, and it is controlled by two drives. Thus, the proposed robot has a redundant actuation. In this article, we present an algorithm to solve the inverse kinematics of this robot and apply it to a path modeling example of a spiral-like trajectory. Numerical simulations illustrate the algorithm and show how the actuated coordinates change along the considered trajectory. Forward kinematics follows next, and an approach is introduced to determine all end-effector configurations for the specified displacements in the actuated joints. A numerical example presents four assembly modes of the robot corresponding to four real solutions of the forward kinematic problem. Finally, this article demonstrates a computer-aided design and analysis of the proposed robot: we describe a procedure for analyzing inverse kinematics and calculating actuation torques. This study forms the basis for the future manufacturing and experimental analysis of a robot prototype.
