Title: KINEMATICALLY REDUNDANT ROBOT MANIPULATORS

Agency / Branch: DOD / USAF

Contract: N/A

Award Amount: $305,000.00

Abstract:
BECAUSE NONMINIMALLY ARTICULATED (OR KINEMATICALLY REDUNDANT) ROBOT MANIPULATORS HAVE EXTRA DEGREES OF FREEDOM WITH WHICH TO MOVE AND ORIENT END EFFECTORS IN THE WORKSPACE, THEY OFFER A NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES OVER CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DESIGNS. FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL, HOWEVER, THERE ARE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS DUE TO THE INCREASED COMPLEXITY OF THE KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS. A SIX MONTH RESEARCH EFFORT IS PROPOSED TO COMPARE THE ADVANTAGES AND LIABILITIES OF NONMINIMALLY ARTICULATED MANIPULATORS, AND TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN TOOLS AND CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR THESE DEVICES.
