The kinematic analysis of Stewart platform manipulator(SPM) is carried out in order to reduce the calculation time for its forward kinematic solution when the iterative numerical method is employed. The kinematic equations for three substructures of the 6-3 SPM are newly derived by introducing Denavit-Hartenberg link parameters and using kinematic constraints associated with the SPM and substructure kinematics. It is shown that the forward kinematics can be easily solved from three nonlinear equations with three unknown variables only, leading to a great reduction in calculation time.

We present a novel method to model the body posture of a worm for vision-based automatic monitoring and analysis. The worm considered in this study is a Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), which is popularly used for research in biological science and engineering. We model the posture by an open chain of a few curved or rigid line segments, in contrast to previously published approaches wherein a large number of small rigid elements are connected for the modeling. Each link segment is represented by only two parameters: an arc angle and an arc length for a curved segment, or an orientation angle and a link length for a straight line segment. Links in the proposed method can be readily related using the Denavit-Hartenberg convention due to similarities to the kinematics of an articulated manipulator. Our method was tested with real worm images, and accurate results were obtained.

This paper introduced how to construct Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters from the Unified Robot Description Format (URDF). URDF is convenient for describing a robot even though the robot is very complex. On the other hand, DH convention is not an easy notation for many novices who want to describe a robot. Therefore, most vendors provide URDF and users prefer to use URDF to describe a robot. However, some controllers or algorithms are based on DH parameters to perform kinematics, dynamics, control, etc. To connect URDF and DH parameters, we present a three-step approach to construct DH parameters from URDF. The first step is to define the joint axis for constructing DH parameters. The second step is constructing DH parameters to define joint character. The final step is constructing DH parameters to define the coordinate frame of the child link. This approach is based on intuitive vector calculation and guarantees the uniqueness of DH parameters. To verify our approach, we applied our approach to a simple one-link robot, a manipulator with 6 DOF, and a quadruped robot with 3 DOF per leg. We verified that our approach worked well based on forward kinematic results.

We suggest how to program off-line robot path along shoes' outsole shape in the footwear buffing process by a 5-axis microscribe system like robot arms. This microscribe system developed consists a 5-axis robot link with a turn table, signal processing circuit, PC and an application software program. It makes a robot path on the shoe's upper through the movement of a microscribe with many joints. To do this, first it reads 5-encoder's pulse values while a robot arm points a shoes' outsole shape from the initial status. This system developed calculates the encoder pulse values for the robot arm's rotation and transmits the angle pulse values to the PC through a circuit. Then, Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) direct kinematics is used to make the global coordinate from robot joint one. The determinant is obtained with kinematics equation and D-H variable representation. To drive the kinematics equation, we have to set up the standard coordinates first. The many links and the more complicated structure cause the difficult kinematics problem to solve in the geometrical way. Thus, we can solve the robot's kinematics problems efficiently and systematically by Denavit-Hartenberg's representation. Finally, with the coordinate values calculated above, it can draw a buffing gauge-line on the upper. Also, it can program off-line robot path on the shoes' upper. We are subjected to obtaining shoes' outline points, which are 2 outlines coupled with the points and the normal vector based on the points. These data is supposed to be transformed into .dxf file to be used for data of automatic buffing robot. This system developed is simulated by using spline curves coupled with each point from dxf file in Autocad. As a result of applying this system to the buffing robot in the flexible footwear manufacturing system, it can be used effectively to program the path of a real buffing robot.

신발 버핑공정에서 로봇 메카니즘과 같은 5축 마이크로스크라이브에 의하여 신발창 형상을 따라서 버핑 로봇 경로를 오프라인으로 프로그래밍하는 방법을 제안한다. 개발한 마이크로스크라이브 시스템은 턴테이블이 부착된 5축 로봇링크, 신호처리장치, PC 및 응용 소프트웨어 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다. 많은 조인트를 가진 마이크로스크 라이브를 신발창 표면을 따라 이동시킴으로써 로봇 경로가 만들어진다. 개발시스템은 마이크로스크라이브 암의 회전에 해당되는 엔코더 펄스 값을 환산하며, 이 각도 값을 신호처리장치를 통하여 PC로 전송한다. Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) 직접 키네메틱스가 마이크로스크라이브 조인트 각도 값으로서 글로벌 좌표값을 만드는데 사용된다. 마이크로스크라이브의 키네메틱스 문제는 D-H 표현에 의하여 효과적이고 시스템적으로 해결된다. 개발시스템은 D-H식에 의하여 계산된 좌표 값으로서 신발 갑피 위에 버핑 게이지 라인을 그릴 수 있으며, 또한 신발 갑피 위에 각 점들과 그 점에 수직인 벡터와 결합된 2개의 외곽 라인으로서 로봇 경로를 얻는다. 개발시스템을 FMS의 버핑 로봇에 적용함으로써 실제적인 버핑 로봇의 경로를 프로그래밍하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

In order to verify robot motions for a desired work, it is necessary to visualize it on a computer screen. This paper presents a simulation algorithm for robot manipulator motion. Kinematic description is based on the Denavit- Hartenberg link representation. In order to be applied to various types of the robot manipulator, inverse kinematics make use of the Newton-Raphson iterative method with the least squares method. Joint variables are interpolated by the lowest polynomial segment satisfying acceleration continuity. The robot motions are generated and then animated on a computer screen in the form of skeleton type.

This paper presents a new formulation approach to reduce computational burden of the direct kinematics of 6-dof haptic devices with three sets of a parallel-serial linkage. Their direct kinematics has been formulated through employing the Denavit-Hartenberg notation, which results in complicated formulation procedures and heavy computational burden. For reducing these problems, this paper reconfigures the haptic devices into an equivalent kinematic model of the 3-6 Stewart-Gough Platform that has three connecting joints on the moving platform. Moreover, the direct kinematics of the 3-6 Platform can be effectively formulated by using the proposed Tetrahedron Approach.

In industrial fields, human works are being replaced by robots. However, as the use of robots is limited in the process industry where they are operated fixedly, humanoid robots with wide applications need to be developed. Currently a great deal of research is being conducted on humanoid robots with the object of replacing humans in the workplace. However, because of the lack of relevant hardware and difficulty in mechanical parts, only very simple and limited progress is being made. In an effort to overcome these limitations, the purpose of the present study is to develop a kinematical mechanism and a controller. To this end, master arms with 3 degrees-of-freedom for the shoulders and the arms were composed which were able to reproduce human-like motions by simulating the characteristics of joint variables and the trajectory of the end-effector.
