Abstract

Abstract We focus on the development of modular and recursive formulations for the inverse dynamics of parallel architecture manipulators in this paper. The modular formulation of mathematical models is attractive especially when existing sub-models may be assembled to create different topologies, e.g., cooperative robotic systems. Recursive algorithms are desirable from the viewpoint of simplicity and uniformity of computation. However, the prominent features of parallel architecture manipulators-the multiple closed kinematic loops, varying locations of actuation together with mixtures of active and passive joints-have traditionally hindered the formulation of modular and recursive algorithms. In this paper, the concept of the decoupled natural orthogonal complement (DeNOC) is combined with the spatial parallelism of the robots of interest to develop an inverse dynamics algorithm which is both recursive and modular. The various formulation stages in this process are highlighted using the illustrative example of a 3R Planar Parallel Manipulator.
