Dynamic analysis and system identification of an LCD glass-handling robot driven by a PMSM

In this paper, Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive Lagrange’s equations of an liquid crystal display (LCD) glass-handling robot driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The robot has three arms driven by two timing belts. The dynamic formulations can be expressed by one and four independent variables, which are named as the rigid and flexible models, respectively. In order to verify the dynamic formulation is correct, we reduce the flexible model to the rigid one under some assumptions. In this paper, we adopt the real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) to identify all the parameters of the robot and PMSM simultaneously. It is found that the RGA can identify system parameters which are difficult to be measured in practical problems, for examples, the inductance, stator resistance, motor torque constant, damping coefficient of the motor and timing belts. In numerical simulations, vibrations due to flexibility of the timing belts are investigated for the angular displacements, speeds, accelerations of arms, and the horizontal and vertical displacements of the robot. The angular displacements of the robot arm and the translational positions of the robot end are obtained in the numerical simulations and experimental results. From their comparisons, it is demonstrated that identification results of the dynamic model with four independent variables present the better matching with experimental results of the system.

On Evolving Social Systems: Communication, Speciation and Symbiogenesis

In this paper we introduce three enhancements for evolutionary computing techniques in social environments. We describe the use of the genetic algorithm to evolve communicating rule-based systems, where each rule-based system represents an agent in a social/multi-agent environment. It is shown that the evolution of multiple cooperating agents can give improved performance over the evolution of an equivalent single agent, i.e. non-social, system. We examine the performance of two social system configurations as approaches to the control of gait in a wall climbing quadrupedal robot, where each leg of the quadruped is controlled by a communicating agent. We then introduce two social-level operators&2014;speciation and symbiogenesis&2014;which aim to reduce the amount of knowledge required a priori by automatically manipulating the system&2018;s social structure and describe their use in conjunction with the communicating rule-based systems. The reasons for implementing these kinds of operators are discussed and we then examine their performance in developing the controller of the wall-climbing quadruped. We find that the use of such operators can give improved performance over static population/agent configurations.     

Prototype design of a translating parallel robot

The paper describes the mechanical design of a parallel manipulator for motions of pure translation, whose kinematic analysis has shown very good performances such as a large workspace and small overall dimensions of the mobile platform; in particular, the “Cartesian” structure of the machine allowed to obtain constant accuracy and kinematic properties throughout the workspace. The structural design has minimized the mass of the moving links and, by the combined use of FEM and multibody codes, allowed to take into consideration the high stresses coming from inertial forces and to evaluate a-priori the resulting dynamic properties. A physical prototype has just been built in order to validate the developed models and assess the actual robot performances in real operating conditions. The present research has been partially co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and University and by the Polytechnic University of Marche under PRIN03 project “Design and prototyping of application-oriented mini-PKM”.
