Dynamic Analysis of a 7 DOF Robot Using Fuzzy Logic for Inverse Kinematics Problem
Abstract In this paper, a dynamic analysis for a redundant, serial robot, with seven degrees of freedom is presented. The dynamic model of the robot is based on importing a tri-dimensional CAD model of the robot into MATLAB®, Simulink®-Simscape™-SimMechanics™. One can import complete CAD assemblies, including all masses, inertias, joints, constraints, and tri-dimensional geometries, into the model. The first step for executing a dynamic analysis is to resolve the Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem for the redundant robot. Because this type of robot has seven degrees of freedom the IK resolution implies an infinite number of solutions. So, to be able to resolve the IK for this kind of robot a F…
Modular fastening system and tool–holder working unit for incremental forming
Incremental forming can be usually unfolded either on CNC milling machine–tools or serial industrial robots. The approach proposed in this paper tackles the problem of designing a modular fastening system, which can be adapted for both above mentioned technological equipment. The fastening system of the sheet–metal workpiece is composed of a fixing plate and a retaining plate. The fixing and retaining plates will be made up of different individual elements, which can be easily repositioned to obtain different sizes of the part. Moreover, the fastening system has to be able to be positioned either horizontally (to be fitted on CNC milling machines) or vertically (to be fitted on industrial r…
