Research
Dynamic analysis and real-time control rigid-link of parallel manipulators
A parallel manipulator is a closed-loop mechanism composed of an end-effector having "n" degrees of freedom and a fixed base, linked together by at least two independent kinematic chains. Compared to the serial manipulators, the main advantage of the parallel manipulators is the higher payload to self weight ratio. The rigid-link parallel manipulators provide a high positioning accuracy, and the same geometry of the manipulator can be scaled to best suit the application.
​
The objective of the research work is to perform dynamic analysis of the parallel manipulator to study the behaviour in terms of dynamics and controllability over the entire workspace of the parallel manipulator. Use this knowledge to develop real-time control strategies for fast and interactive operations of parallel manipulators.
