Kinematic analysis refers to the study of the geometry of motion of a robot, without considering the forces an torques that cause the motion.
In this analysis, the relation between the geometrical parameters of the manipulator with the final motion of the moving platform is derived and analyzed.

The Jacobian matrix \(\bm{J}\) can be computed using the < code > computeJacobian< / code > function (accessible < a href = "#org2387f19" > here< / a > ).

The Jacobian matrix links the input joint rate \(\dot{\bm{\mathcal{L}}} = [ \dot{l}_1, \dot{l}_2, \dot{l}_3, \dot{l}_4, \dot{l}_5, \dot{l}_6 ]^T\) of each strut to the output twist vector of the mobile platform is denoted by \(\dot{\bm{X}} = [^A\bm{v}_p, {}^A\bm{\omega}]^T\):
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\dot{\bm{\mathcal{L}}} = \bm{J} \dot{\bm{\mathcal{X}}}
\end{equation*}
< p >
The input joint rate \(\dot{\bm{\mathcal{L}}}\) can be measured by taking the derivative of the relative motion sensor in each strut.
The output twist vector can be measured with a “ Transform Sensor” block measuring the relative velocity and relative angular velocity of frame \(\{B\}\) with respect to frame \(\{A\}\).

If the Jacobian matrix is inversible, we can also compute \(\dot{\bm{\mathcal{X}}}\) from \(\dot{\bm{\mathcal{L}}}\).
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\dot{\bm{\mathcal{X}}} = \bm{J}^{-1} \dot{\bm{\mathcal{L}}}

As explain in < a href = "stewart-architecture.html" > this< / a > document, each Actuator is modeled by 3 elements in parallel:
< / p >
< ul class = "org-ul" >
< li > A spring with a stiffness \(k_{i}\)< / li >
< li > A dashpot with a damping \(c_{i}\)< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
The stiffness of the actuator \(k_i\) links the applied actuator force \(\delta \tau_i\) and the corresponding small deflection \(\delta l_i\):
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\tau_i = k_i \delta l_i, \quad i = 1,\ \dots,\ 6
\end{equation*}
< p >
If we combine these 6 relations:
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\bm{\tau} = \mathcal{K} \delta \bm{\mathcal{L}} \quad \mathcal{K} = \text{diag}\left[ k_1,\ \dots,\ k_6 \right]
\end{equation*}
< p >
Substituting \(\bm{\tau} = \bm{J}^{-T} \bm{\mathcal{F}}\) and \(\delta \bm{\mathcal{L}} = \bm{J} \cdot \delta \bm{\mathcal{X}}\) gives
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\bm{\mathcal{F}} = \bm{J}^T \mathcal{K} \bm{J} \cdot \delta \bm{\mathcal{X}}
\end{equation*}
< p >
And then we identify the stiffness matrix \(\bm{K}\):
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\bm{K} = \bm{J}^T \mathcal{K} \bm{J}
\end{equation*}
< p >
If the stiffness matrix \(\bm{K}\) is inversible, the < b > compliance matrix< / b > of the manipulator is defined as
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\bm{C} = \bm{K}^{-1} = (\bm{J}^T \mathcal{K} \bm{J})^{-1}
\end{equation*}
< p >
The compliance matrix of a manipulator shows the mapping of the moving platform wrench applied at \(\bm{O}_B\) to its small deflection by
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\delta \bm{\mathcal{X}} = \bm{C} \cdot \bm{\mathcal{F}}
\end{equation*}

For small displacements mobile platform displacement \(\delta \bm{\mathcal{X}} = [\delta x, \delta y, \delta z, \delta \theta_x, \delta \theta_y, \delta \theta_z ]^T\) around \(\bm{\mathcal{X}}_0\), the associated joint displacement can be computed using the Jacobian (approximate solution of the inverse kinematic problem):

Similarly, for small joint displacements \(\delta\bm{\mathcal{L}} = [ \delta l_1,\ \dots,\ \delta l_6 ]^T\) around \(\bm{\mathcal{L}}_0\), it is possible to find the induced small displacement of the mobile platform (approximate solution of the forward kinematic problem):

< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\delta\bm{\mathcal{X}} = \bm{J}^{-1} \delta\bm{\mathcal{L}}

These two relations solve the forward and inverse kinematic problems for small displacement in a < b > approximate< / b > way.
As the inverse kinematic can be easily solved exactly this is not much useful, however, as the forward kinematic problem is difficult to solve, this approximation can be very useful for small displacements.

As we know how to exactly solve the Inverse kinematic problem, we can compare the exact solution with the approximate solution using the Jacobian matrix.
For small displacements, the approximate solution is expected to work well.
We would like here to determine up to what displacement this approximation can be considered as correct.

Let’ s say one want to design a Stewart platform with some specified mobility (position and orientation).
One may want to determine the required actuator stroke required to obtain the specified mobility.
This is what is analyzed in this section.

As a first estimation, we estimate the needed actuator stroke for “ pure” rotations and translation.
We do that using either the Inverse Kinematic solution or the Jacobian matrix as an approximation.

To do so, we may estimate the required actuator stroke for all possible combination of translation and rotation.

Here, from some value of the actuator stroke, we would like to estimate the mobility of the Stewart platform.

2020-02-11 15:27:39 +01:00
As explained in section < a href = "#orgca82bb8" > No description for this link< / a > , the forward kinematic problem of the Stewart platform is quite difficult to solve.
2020-01-29 17:49:25 +01:00
However, for small displacements, we can use the Jacobian as an approximate solution.

Let’ s first estimate the mobility in translation when the orientation of the Stewart platform stays the same.
< / p >
< p >
As shown previously, for such small stroke, we can use the approximate Forward Dynamics solution using the Jacobian matrix:
< / p >
\begin{equation*}
\delta\bm{\mathcal{L}} = \bm{J} \delta\bm{\mathcal{X}}
\end{equation*}
< p >
To obtain the mobility “ volume” attainable by the Stewart platform when it’ s orientation is set to zero, we use the spherical coordinate \((r, \theta, \phi)\).
< / p >
< p >
For each possible value of \((\theta, \phi)\), we compute the maximum radius \(r\) attainable with the constraint that the stroke of each actuator should be between < code > L_min< / code > and < code > L_max< / code > .
< / p >

rs = zeros(length(thetas), length(phis));

Tz = cos(thetas(< span class = "org-constant" > i< / span > ));
dL = stewart.J< span class = "org-type" > *< / span > [Tx; Ty; Tz; 0; 0; 0;]; < span class = "org-comment" > % dL required for 1m displacement in theta/phi direction< / span >
rs(< span class = "org-constant" > i< / span > , < span class = "org-constant" > j< / span > ) = max([dL(dL< span class = "org-type" > < < / span > 0)< span class = "org-type" > *< / span > L_min; dL(dL< span class = "org-type" > > < / span > 0)< span class = "org-type" > *< / span > L_max]);
< span class = "org-keyword" > end< / span >
< span class = "org-keyword" > end< / span >
< / pre >
< / div >
< p >
Now that we have found the corresponding radius \(r\), we plot the obtained mobility.
We can also approximate the mobility by a sphere with a radius equal to the minimum obtained value of \(r\), this is however a pessimistic estimation of the mobility.

For inverse kinematic analysis, it is assumed that the position \({}^A\bm{P}\) and orientation of the moving platform \({}^A\bm{R}_B\) are given and the problem is to obtain the joint variables, namely, \(\bm{L} = [l_1, l_2, \dots, l_6]^T\).
< / p >
< p >
From the geometry of the manipulator, the loop closure for each limb, \(i = 1, 2, \dots, 6\) can be written as
< / p >
\begin{align*}
l_i {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i & = {}^A\bm{A} + {}^A\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \\
& = {}^A\bm{A} + {}^A\bm{R}_b {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i
\end{align*}
< p >
To obtain the length of each actuator and eliminate \(\hat{\bm{s}}_i\), it is sufficient to dot multiply each side by itself:
< / p >
\begin{equation}
l_i^2 \left[ {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i^T {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i \right] = \left[ {}^A\bm{P} + {}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \right]^T \left[ {}^A\bm{P} + {}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \right]
\end{equation}
< p >
Hence, for \(i = 1, 2, \dots, 6\), each limb length can be uniquely determined by:
< / p >
\begin{equation}
l_i = \sqrt{{}^A\bm{P}^T {}^A\bm{P} + {}^B\bm{b}_i^T {}^B\bm{b}_i + {}^A\bm{a}_i^T {}^A\bm{a}_i - 2 {}^A\bm{P}^T {}^A\bm{a}_i + 2 {}^A\bm{P}^T \left[{}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i\right] - 2 \left[{}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i\right]^T {}^A\bm{a}_i}
\end{equation}
< p >
If the position and orientation of the moving platform lie in the feasible workspace of the manipulator, one unique solution to the limb length is determined by the above equation.
Otherwise, when the limbs’ lengths derived yield complex numbers, then the position or orientation of the moving platform is not reachable.

From a small displacement of each strut \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}\), we can compute the
position and orientation of {B} with respect to {A} using the following formula:
\[ d \bm{\mathcal{X}} = \bm{J}^{-1} d\bm{\mathcal{L}} \]

The position vector corresponds to the first 3 elements.

< pre class = "src src-matlab" > P = X(1< span class = "org-type" > :< / span > 3);

The next 3 elements are the orientation of {B} with respect to {A} expressed
using the screw axis.

< div class = "org-src-container" >
< pre class = "src src-matlab" > theta = norm(X(4< span class = "org-type" > :< / span > 6));

We then compute the corresponding rotation matrix.
